I personnly think it is one of the biggest cultural travestys of modern times that people no longer quaff. For those of you who don’t know what Quaff means heres the dictionary.com defintion:
| 1. |
to drink a beverage, esp. an intoxicating one, copiously and with hearty enjoyment. |
–verb (used with object)
| 2. |
to drink (a beverage) copiously and heartily: We spent the whole evening quaffing ale. |
–noun
| 3. |
an act or instance of quaffing. |
In other words to drink something where half of it goes in your mouth and the other half down your front. The Viking’s were mighty quaffer’s, it was considered the height of entertainment to gather together, feasting, quaffing, singing and telling battle stories.
I hereby commence the “Bring Back Quaffing” campaign!
