Etymology
The word 'tipple' has its origins in the late 17th century, derived from the Middle English term 'tipplen', which means to drink alcohol. The term is thought to be of uncertain origin but is believed to have roots in dialects of England. It was commonly used in the 18th century to describe the act of drinking in a casual manner. Over time, 'tipple' became associated primarily with light or moderate drinking. In literature and common speech, it often evokes imagery of convivial gatherings and leisurely enjoyment of beverages. Though the term has faded somewhat in modern vernacular, it still connotes a more genteel approach to drinking compared to more boisterous terms.
