I guess it's because I thought it was a "soft drink," and for me soft
drinks are last choice for social drinking.
Does it have an alcohol content?
by a (perhaps not so) strange coincidence I happen to be drinking a Pimms right now. It's an extremely civilised way to while away an English summer's evening down by the river. You can feel your wits slowly sinking into torpor, while your consciousness stands on the upturned deck of reason, and salutes a fond farewell.
To give those who may not be familiar with the glories of civilisation, here is an illustration of the part Pimms plays in English life: A couple of weeks ago I spent an evening watching the sun go down behind Richmond Bridge. The pub had the normal run of optics behind the bar, with 1 litre bottles of all the usual stuff. But they had 2 bottles of Pimms on the optics, each of which contained 10 litres of Pimms.
I raise my glass to the gathered PUGil*ists!
