Hehehehe, yes indeed!
One of the units I was in, we had our own lingo for alcohol. We had different grades of "water" so for example, "dam water" was low strength drinks like Stones Green Ginger Wine (which seemed to be a favourite right across the country) while higher potency booze was, if I remember, "muddy water".
Often one person in the Section would elect to carry a canteen full of said "water" for sharing among the Section at the appropriate times.
