Nightcap
Before retiring to the upper rooms (or to bed for those who live in a Bungalow!), the Brits often like to have a ‘night cap’. Its a little drink before bedtime, often a drop of good Scotch or some sort of Brandy.
The nightcap as a drink is an expression that dates back to the 1700s, when folks donned nightcaps as a way of warming themselves and thus promoting better sleep. In a sense the nightcap drink, which can really be any type of alcoholic drink, does provide warmth, and also generally makes one a little sleepy. Alcohol at first sedates, and it lowers the body’s temperature, making one feel warmer.
