Episode Transcript/Quiz

Episode Intro

Time to relax and grab a drink for Alcohol Trivia on this week’s episode of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. We are going to, responsibly, consume thirty questions about alcohol and its representation in pop culture.

Unlike the actual stuff, there is no age limit for these questions. If this subject is too triggering for you, skip it and come back next week. We’ve got comic book trivia then.

OK? Good. Then let’s dive in.

The Dorky Round

  1. After water and tea, what is the most popular beverage in the world?
    a. Beer
  2. Ending a 300-year-old tradition, in 1970, British sailors were no longer given a daily ration of what?
    a. Rum
  3. What alcohol is mentioned in the Bible over five hundred times?
    a. Wine
  4. Though there are variations, what drink is fresh orange juice mixed with champagne?
    a. A mimosa.
  5. A margarita is traditionally served with what mineral stuck to the rim of the glass?
    a. Salt
  6. In Star Trek, what blue-colored beverage is illegal in the Federation but is still consumed regularly?

  9. Crown Royal is product of what country?

  10. What beverage, made in Mexico, is distilled from the blue agave plant?
    a. Tequila

The Geeky Round

  1. What Amendment to the US Constitution prohibited the sale of alcohol?
    a. The 18th Amendment
  2. Alcoholism is referred to as AUD. What does AUD stand for?
    a. Alcohol Use Disorder
  3. A Moscow Mule is traditionally served in a mug made from what metal?
    a. Copper
  4. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Ron Weasley accidentally drinks some poisoned what?
    a. Oak-Matured Mead
  5. What alcohol is named (indirectly) for a French royal family that included Louis the XIV and XV?
    a. Bourbon whiskey. Debate rages as to whether the whiskey is named for Bourbon County in Kentucky or Bourbon street in New Orleans.
  6. Drinking what beverage was described by the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy as “like having your brain smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick”?

The Nerdy Round

    a. The 21st Amendment. America sobered up enough in that span to pass the 19th Amendment, Women’s Suffrage, and the 20th to move the inauguration up two months, shortening the “lame-duck”period of a presidency.

Episode Conclusion

And that’s it for alcohol trivia. Let me know on social media or Spotify what your drink of choice is (even if it’s non-alcoholic).

Here’s a clue for next week’s episode:

What Justice League member made his debut in the story, “The Strange Experiment of Dr. Erdel”?

I promised comic trivia and I shall deliver. See you next Wednesday.
