Alcohol is a fun addition to everything from a casual dinner at home to a night out with friends. Many people also love giving their dogs food- and drink-related names, from silly to serious. The combination of people’s enjoyment of alcohol and of giving their dogs drink-related names seems to converge in the middle—right at names that are inspired by alcohol. From brands to cocktails to accessories, there are a ton of alcohol-inspired names for your dog.
How to Name Your Dog
It’s intimidating to choose a name for your dog, and many people stress over it. It’s a good idea to create a list of names that interest you before you bring your new dog home. Once they’re home, you can mark names off the list as your dog’s personality begins to shine. Maybe when you were looking at names, you were thinking that Cabernet would be a great dog name, but now you’re realizing that you’ve got a rough-and-tumble Jim Beam on your hands. It’s ok to take a few days to choose the perfect name for your new dog!
