laughing juice

A lighthearted, humorous slang term for alcoholic drink — typically implying beer, wine, or spirits consumed socially. The term captures the way alcohol loosens inhibitions and encourages laughter and good humor. Typically used in a jovial, self-deprecating way, not to describe serious drinking. It belongs to the tradition of comic British and Australian euphemisms for alcohol alongside terms like 'giggle water,' 'the hard stuff,' or simply 'the sauce.' More informal and playful than most drinking vocabulary.
