"J" is jiggers

Rather than use a shot glass, Jack and Ennis preferred to imbibe their jiggers of whiskey straight from the bottle.

"L" is lushes

With the amount of whiskey they drank, you might call Jack and Ennis a couple of lushes.

Instead of using a mixer, Jack and Ennis liked their whiskey straight up.

"N" is no-good

The screenplay describes the two no-good bikers Ennis encountered on the Fourth of July like this:

"Biker #1 has a few teeth missing.  Biker #2 limps, dragging a clubfoot.  Each carries a half-empty bottle of liquor.  Loud, profane, already drunk.  Sit themselves down on the grass behind Ennis and his family."

"O" is obsessionally

Both Jack and Ennis drank obsessionally; even Lureen figured out that Jack's favourite place might have a whiskey spring.

"P" is punch-drunk
« Reply #10225 on: January 16, 2007, 01:09:01 pm »
After being outed by Alma, Ennis was dazed, or punch-drunk; so he went to the Black and Blue Eagle Bar where he got punched and drunk.

"R" is rubber-legged
« Reply #10226 on: January 16, 2007, 05:14:38 pm »
When Jack yelled at him, Ennis, still three sheets to the wind, stumbled rubber-legged into the tent, scattering cooking gear as he went.

"S" is spirits

In order to raise their spirits, Jack and Ennis would indulge in spirits and would then be in the spirit of things.

Ennis took two tumblers from his cupboard after getting white wine from his fridge.

"U" is uncouthly

Eschewing tumblers, Jack and Ennis uncouthly drank their whiskey right from the bottle.
