Have you ever seen anyone drink Bombay Sapphire? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

I often see Bombay sapphire for sale at supermarkets. I once saw an unopened bottle someone had in their house but I've never in my life seen anyone drink it.

Has anyone else?

I've had it, but I don't seek it out. If I want cheap there's cheaper, and if I want good gin, so much out there is better.

Weird headcanon: I have a definite association in my mind with gin and wickedness, and I don't know why. If I'm drinking it, I feel slightly amoral and I tend to assume the same of anyone else drinking gin. Was there a movie with wicked aunts drinking gin somewhere deep in my forgotten youth, or is it something about juniper?

Maybe you've seen the drawing Gin Alley by Hogarth?

It's what Ms. Hannigan drinks when she's singing "little girls" in Annie. At the end of the song she literally pours a bunch of it in the bathtub and is swimming around in it.

They also drink it (or something similar) in 1984 as a standard ration
