Etymology
The word 'dram' originally comes from the Greek word 'drame', which referred to a small weight or measure. This term evolved through Middle English and was used to designate a small amount of liquid, particularly spirits. The concept of a 'dram' drinking measure became particularly popular in the context of whiskey in Scotland, where it signifies a small portion typically enjoyed in a social setting. Over time, the verb 'to dram' emerged, reflecting the action of consuming a small quantity of whiskey, especially in a casual or celebratory setting. The evolution of this term mirrors the growing significance of whiskey culture, particularly in Scottish and Irish traditions.
