I like good vodka, but I generally order my vodka tonics with rail

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Rail/well could probably be used on those regional language maps.

With an added option for those of us who say "Have no clue what either mean". But I was raised by Temperance Union folks, so I'm woefully lacking in boozy vocabulary.
