Why We Say It:

WET YOUR WHISTLE

This saying supposedly came from an English pub.  A whistle was baked right into the rim of a ceramic beer mug.  The crowd would get loud and it became hard for the bartender to hear people ordering drinks.  They would then blow the whistle for another drink in order to ‘wet their whistle.
