Alcohol has been a part of various cultures across the world for centuries, and as its popularity has increased so has the number of slang names for alcohol. Today there are almost as many slang names for alcohol as there are types of alcohol itself, and equally there are different slang names that hail from different parts of the world. Here are just a few of the most popular slang names for alcohol.
BoozeBooze is probably one of the most widely used slang names for alcohol. The term dates back to the 14th Century and was traditionally used when describing drinking alcohol to excess. HoochHooch is a term that was traditionally used to describe alcohol that was home-made, and became a wide-spread slang name during the time of prohibition when alcohol had to be made illicitly. MoonshineMoonshine is another slang name that was once used to describe alcohol that was produced illicitly, traditionally corn whisky. TippleThis is a common alcoholic slang name that is very inoffensive, and can also refer to drinking small amounts of alcohol rather than drinking to excess. ToddyThe term "toddy" comes from the traditional alcoholic drink that consisted of warm liquor, usually rum, mixed with water, spices and sugar. Red-eyeRed-eye traditionally refers to a cheap whiskey but is today a slang name for other types of alcohol too, probably for the effects that alcohol can sometimes have on the eyes. JuiceJuice is a slang name for alcohol that can be used very inoffensively in public situations.These are just a few of the slang names that can be used for alcohol, and there's sure to be many more. It's interesting to note where a lot of these names came from, with many of them having been used for hundreds of years as traditional terms that are today gaining in popularity as slang names. Why not take a look around and see what other slang terms for alcohol there are.
A man staggered home drunk and his wife told him that one of these days, he would vomit up his guts. One evening, he went to the bar and the wife put chitterlings in the bathroom sink. He went in the bathroom to vomit in the sink without even turning on the light first. Later, he came out of the bathroom and wanted to talk to his wife. He told her, "You were right that I would vomit up my guts. But thankfully, by the grace of God and the help of a very long spoon, I was able to get them back down."

A man who had too much alcohol at a party was pulled over by a highway patrolman while heading home.
While given a field sobriety test, the fellow couldn't walk a straight line, let alone drive one, so the state trooper wrote out a ticket and had just given it to the driver before an accident in the other lane took his attention to more important matters.
The inebriated driver, figuring that the patrolman wasn't coming back to him, drove home and went to bed.
The next morning, two highway patrolmen beat on his door and awakened him. "Are you Mr. Johnson?" they asked?
He admitted that he was. "Were you pulled over at Main Street last night for driving while impaired?"
Again, the man admitted that was he. "Then what did you do?" the highway patrolmen asked."
The man said that he drove his car home and went to bed. "Where is your car now?" the highway patrolmen inquired.
The man answered that it was in the garage. "May we see the car?" asked the state troopers.
The man answered, "Sure," and then opened the garage. Parked inside the garage was a state highway patrol car.
