I agree! And I can also tell by the pic, that you weren't even challenged! You gave him a headstart, then casually tipped your glass and blew his doors off!

I'd love to use that line - or at least paraphrase it!

Cheers,

I already have it on a shirt, along with several other reasons why I wear a kilt: http://www.cafepress.com/kiltwear/1132619

Looks sharp, mate! Not only that, but the drink looks pretty good, too!

The Grog at a Military Dinning In has a tradition all its own, and each ingredient symbolizes something. Besides the liquor: Scotch vidka etc. there were a number of things to include a little bit of sand, a 5.56 cartridge, a swatch of fabric, and other things i do not recall. Each ingredent was called out as it was added, and its signifigance was noted..
This shot was taken at the end of the night. the NCO to my right is leaning a bit he had spent much more time at the grog than any of the other attendees.

In American military tradition, the different alcohols in a regimental punch usually symbolise where a regiment served or a significant event in regimental history; so for example:

Tequila: Mexico (Mexican War or Mexican Border Service)
Red Wine: (France, World Wars)
Schnapps: Germany (Occupation duty)
Saki: Japan (same)

The other items may also have some significance, as you pointed out, to regimental history. The unit insignia also may display symbols of prior service.
