Drinking Word of the Day

I'd like to thank Melinda Simpson, our regular contributor, for providing us with this gem from the Oxford English Dictionary, combining her's and my deep love of both beer and knowledge:

Try to use this word in your everyday vocabulary, for instance, "Melinda's abligurition astounded all those who witnessed it, even those at Pint Night!" Add this word to your vocabulary, and perhaps more beer and alcohol-related terms from the OED could come your way as a reward!
