The term "stiff drink" is believed to have originated in the United States during the 19th century, particularly associated with the idea of a strong alcoholic beverage. The phrase implies a drink that is served with a generous pour of alcohol, often used to denote a no-nonsense approach to drinking. While its exact origin is unclear, it reflects the cultural attitudes toward drinking during that era, emphasizing strength and fortitude.
