| No Images? Click here   Booze cruise. Boozy brunch. Booze it up. It’s clear “booze” is part of our vocabulary when it comes to drinking culture. But where did this term come from, and why do we use it to refer to alcoholic beverages?HuffPost’s Caroline Bologna dug a bit and found there are actually quite a few legends as to why we call alcohol “booze.”She writes: “According to one legend, the origin of the word dates back to a 19th-century American distiller named Edmund Booz. Based in Philadelphia, Mr. Booz operated a successful business that became known for its log cabin-shaped whiskey bottles. Although many attribute the word “booze” to Booz’s influence, it seems the story is just a myth.”Read on for more theories.And while we’re on the subject of booze, my colleagues Ann Brenoff and Brittany Wong, have written great pieces this week about what non-drinkers want drinkers to know and how drinking and modern dating aren't a great mix.
