Same regimental piper informed me that asking for diluted whisky was very bad form. You hafta down it like a man.

He said the best you can do is pray they offer quality drink that doesn't cause you to choke or sputter - causing you to appear a weenie.

As I said, diff'rent strokes.

You'll need to raise that issue with the Liverpool Scottish -- I didn't write it, I only cited it.

Farwell does mention that English officers seconded to Highland regiments were forced to down a thistle in their dram in front of the mess -- to make them "Scotsmen"!
