Drink Blog!
"Why, we've got the greatest defense of all, right here," said the Lion. "We can all drink a little Blog, and hoaxes won't affect us. After all, Blog cures everything, from gafia to snake-bites."
That doesn't explain why I haven't seen anyone objectionably drunk at Minicons over the past five or six years. There's generally kegs of three or more different and excellent micro-brewery beers in the consuite, along with Blog (which is alcoholic by definition, when unmodified), and other alcoholic drinks are available at a dozen or more of the open room parties.
Etymology
Coined by the Liverpool Science Fiction Society in 1955 at the Cytricon convention held in the George Hotel, Kettering, Northamptonshire. It was used as the fake sponsor of an audio play and fake advertisements were placed around the hotel; an actual drink was later served at the hotel bar after customers asked for it.
