A delightfully dated American slang term for alcohol — particularly champagne or any fizzy, celebratory drink — that was popular during the Prohibition era and the roaring twenties. 'Giggle water' captures the social lubricant quality of booze with affectionate humor, emphasizing the loosening of inhibitions and the laughter that follows a few glasses in. It's the kind of phrase that makes you feel like you should be wearing a feathered headband and speaking into a hidden flask.
She raised her glass of giggle water and declared the evening officially started, regardless of what the clock said.
