Alcoholic refreshments

Bevvie - In terms of an alcoholic beverage such as a pint of beer that could accompany a meal, scousers will refer to a beer as a “bevvie”. Bevvie is a word that is not used for any specific alcoholic drink in particular but instead is used generally to describe any alcoholic refreshment. For example, “I’m proper thirsty la, get us a bevvie in” can be translated to “I’m really thirsty lad, can you go and get me a pint?”.

Ale – More specifically, scousers are known to refer to a pint of beer as an “ale”. Although the word “bevvie” is used to generalise all alcoholic beverages “ale” can be used when simply referring to a pint. For example, in a pub in Liverpool, if one man says to another man “Get the ale in lad”, that would infer that the man is telling the other man to order him a pint of beer from the bar.
