Gammerstang commented on the word buzz the bottle
(verb) - This is a common expression at wine parties when the bottle does not contain sufficient wine to fill all the glasses. It means "equally divide what is left." The word "buzz" meant anciently "to empty." Perhaps the word "booze" comes from the same root.
