mixing drinks
Combining liquid refreshments
Mixing drinks is combining ingredients to make cocktails or other alcoholic beverages.
A bartender mixes drinks professionally; at home, someone might mix drinks for a party.
The phrase also covers the practice of drinking different types of alcohol in one session, which folklore holds causes worse hangovers: I shouldn't have mixed drinks last night.
