England is well known for their traditional beer breweries and cider makers as well as their vineyards and whisky distilleries. 

Some people says that the word "cocktail" itself is originated in England. Horses of superb quality, but of mixed origins would have their tails docked to identify them. They were known as "cocktails". A Dr. Johnson, familiar with the term, mixed his friend Boswell a drink of wine laced with gin. He told him, "to mix spirits to wine smacks of our alcoholic hyperbole. It would be a veritable cocktail of a drink." Another English story points to the officers of the Second Regimen of the Royal Sussex Fusileers. Other regimens called the officers, who wore plumes in their caps, "the cocktails".

In England,  Pubs and Public Houses, are places where people go for a break or after work to drink an ale glass, eating snacks and talking. They have developed a social meeting point in the pubs which make of English life so special. However it is really surprising for a foreigner to have to say bye at the bar at 23h00 sometimes due to the strict schedules to being able to keep the license. Favorites in English pubs are lager, wine, alcopops or vodka + coke.
