Meaning & usage
alcoholic beverages consumed to improve one's aim
kein Zielwasser getrunken haben
Where this word comes from
zielen (“to aim”) + Wasser (“water”), from the idea of alcohol improving and steadying one's aim. First used in the late 19th century in contexts such as hunting, though Küpper claims that it was previously used to refer to drinks taken as a punishment for missing in shooting competitions. Initially referred to actual beverages, but also gained purely metaphorical usage to comment on one's aim by the 20th century.
