Still left enough impression enough of involuntary impressment to get another name in the mid eighteen hundreds. Shanghaied. Or crimping.
Heck of a way to wake up!

Is there any truth in the old wives tale that pewter mugs with the see thru bottom were to look for the press gang while you were drinking the last bit of grog

A variety of "here's lookin at you" alleged reasons. Beyond being able to keep watching the soccer game whilst swilling.
I favor the avoidance of drinking a pint with a shilling in it...
From Wiki:
"Metal tankards often come with a glass bottom. The legend is that the glass bottomed tankard was developed as a way of refusing the King's shilling, i.e. conscription into the British army or navy. The drinker could see the coin in the bottom of the glass and refuse the drink, thereby avoiding conscription.
In a bar fight, the first punch was thrown while the recipient had the tankard raised to his mouth; another legend has it that the glass bottom was implemented so as to see the attack coming.
A further story is that the glass bottom merely allowed the drinker to judge the clarity of their drink while forgoing the expense of a fragile pint glass.[5]
Glass bottoms are sometimes retrofitted to antique tankards, reducing their value and authenticity."

You should be drinking out of a glass bottom mug with all the people after you, because you told them all to get stuffed.

glass bottoms also prevented a "mickey" from being added as it could be seen --- crimping (similar to "pimping") was the act of giving drunks room and board and then selling them to ship captians for the debt owed *the room and board was often beans and bread and cheap gin or beer and a backroom to sleep it off -- billed at high rates -- often a months drunk would cost a seaman to be shipped out on a year long voyage (six months each way)
-( the trip to china ) shanghi * from the west coast of America was another year long sea trip (six months each way --and few if any seaman wanted a year at sea --so the bar owners often slipped "mickeys" into sailor drinks to knock them out --when they woke up they were at sea bound for shanghi china as 'crew" --if they caused a fuss about being kidnapped -- they were starved and beaten until they agreed to work and "obeyed" orders
as a retired 27 year SIU merchant seaman --with a family history of being merchant seaman for nearly 300 years thru my fathers bloodline --I know me sea lore..

You got me beat on sea lore then. Buckets of steam and seabats and such.
I have spent considerable time in drinking establishments. Both lines of pedigree.
A proper one has a mirror allowing watching the barkeep's hands, and your back.
Never run a tab.
A bought/gifted drink can be a wooden nickle or a shot glass upside down to indicate one in the "well". No cash or currency.
Go in either front or rear door, or both coming and going, but never the back door with a bouncer or bouncers you don't know well. Especially if they encourage you to.
Don't leave your drink unattended.
In Texas the man leaves his hat at the lady's table while they dance, and females are not encouraged to dance with each other(depending on the establishment of course).
23 blue motor cycles with side cars is too many. So too a dozen fog cutters.
First and last beer from a keg are free.
Announcing that you will arm wrestle any one in the bar for a dollar, then demand your dollar after getting beat because you did not say you had to win,is a young mans game.
So too saying my buddy can whip anybody in this place.
Some wimmin collect things. Lighters for instance. Drinks, or stray money or strays in general, albeit temporarily.. Leave them where you found them, they are there for a reason. If renting one, note the escort.
There comes a time when you either go home ,or just go, cause you aren't staying any longer. Usually follows last call for those who tarry too long. Beware the constable at all hours but more at closing time .

Most pubs in the UK have a bell (back to the waitress again) to ring for last orders .hanging over the bar and the unwritten law is that if you ring it ( normally drunk) before then you buy the pub a round of drinks.......

Did you ring the waitress`s bell and buy her a drink?
Or were those alligator arms too short?
( I know sads669, you're going to tell me to get stuffed )
