They say May 13 is the Day of Cocktail because the word "cocktail" was born on May 13, 1806 for the first time on the American magazine Balance and Columbian Repository.
According to Wikipedia, "It stated that: Cocktail is a stimulating liquor composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters - it is vulgarly called a bittered sling and is supposed to be an excellent electioneering potion, inasmuch as it renders the heart stout and bold, at the same time that it fuddles the head. It is said, also to be of great use to a Democratic candidate: because a person, having swallowed a glass of it, is ready to swallow anything else."
What kind of alcoholic drinks do you like? I like cocktails.
