"What is a 'stiff' drink?"

Sean wonders why a drink is described as 'stiff'.

鈥淲hat is a stiff drink?鈥 asks Sean. 鈥淚 mean, why do we say, I need a 鈥榮tiff鈥 drink?鈥
鈥淎 stiff drink is a strong drink,鈥 says Patrick in Derry. 鈥淚t means strong, like whiskey! You need to get out a bit more!鈥
鈥淵es, I do,鈥 Sean says, 鈥渂ut I know what it is. I want to know why we say it鈥檚 鈥榮tiff鈥!鈥
鈥淚t鈥檚 a drink that will stiffen your resolve,鈥 says Derek.
鈥淚 like that,鈥 Sean says.
鈥淚t鈥檚 because if you drink too many of them, you鈥檒l end up on your back as stiff as a board!鈥 says Willie the Whinge.
With music from Billy Swan, Jerry Lee Lewis, Status Quo, and more.
