Organized ToursBuddy, You're Steamin' -- A common euphemism for having too much to drink is "steamin'," as in the line: "I can't remember what happened last night, I was steamin'." Apparently this quaint expression came from the experience of taking the steamships down the Clyde from Glasgow, which was dry on a Sunday. The ships were exempt from any restrictions on alcohol, a situation of which passengers took full advantage. One paddle steamer, the Waverley (tel. 0845/130-4647; www.waverleyexcursions.co.uk) still plies the Clyde on excursion trips. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip. Related Features
