...evidence, in fact, sustains the conviction that the average American knows how to handle his liquor. Strong whiskeys continue to lose popularity; bourbon is slipping even in the South. Light Scotches are In; vodka, which is odorless and tasteless and mixes with everything, now rivals gin in popularity-though the traditional martini seems to be holding its own. The drink taken on the rocks-which tastes weaker and lasts longer-is gaining. And so is the drink thoroughly diluted with such mixes as orange and tomato juice and beef broth. Most bartenders will even make a spirit-free Bloody Mary...
From that moment on she lived for Fridays only. She sang Greek with Greeks. She hobnobbed with outcasts in the Bick. She shot hypocrisy. Devoured peaches. Drank gin-and-tonics in February.

The most recent Seagram gin ad shows a married couple holding martinis and bragging about "our secret" for making them well. Distillers try to keep the women wifely instead of sex-kittenish. "The girl," says Seagram Distillers Co. President Bernard Tabbat, "has to be a nice girl." Adds National Distillers Vice President-General Manager Raymond Herrmann...
...Then, in a smiling way, I said to her: 'I can't concentrate on my gin rummy with your flapping mouth.' That really started something." Wow, did it ever. Judy Garland, 45, had barely finished that bit of smile talk when she got a face full of brandy tossed at her by Sherwin Filiberti, 28, wife of one of Judy's business partners and a companion on what was supposed to be a convivial Pan Am flight to London. The drink throwing was followed, Judy claimed, by a screaming three-hour family-type argument between...
