My friend and drinking buddy would always say " and one for the road " - meaning we should get one. last. drink.

Even though the last one was really the last drink we got.

But it happens. (She is Irish)

She would change from lager/beer to whisky. I would have a vodka.
What is your "one for the road drink?"

(i.e. Last drink before leaving to go home?)

Once upon a time it would be a vodka red bull. But that meant I needed to find an after party and I'd be up till 5am.

Nowadays, I rarely even have a first drink.

or this...

Years ago I realized I needed to only drink beer or wine, or not drink at all

So my last drink is always beer or wine. But I absolutely hate bars and clubs, so there never is one for the road

No way! Are you tee-total?

Maybe it is an English custom that one has a special drink at the end of the night.

I know it's boring but these days I always drink plenty of water last of all. I haven't had a single hangover the following day since I started doing that.

Pah! Boring! What happened to the Vodka Redbulls, or the late night Courvosier?

oh goodness, no.

It's just that once upon a time I was out having drinks 3-5 nights a week. These days it's closer to once every month or so, if that.

Ask Carrie. The bar always had to close after she'd been there.
