Explanation
This English loanword corresponds to both “whisky” and “whiskey”; the difference between those English spellings is not normally reflected in Thai. When counting servings or containers, use an appropriate classifier: หนึ่งแก้ว for a glass, หนึ่งขวด for a bottle, and หนึ่งช็อต for a shot. Common combinations include ดื่มวิสกี้ (“drink whisky”), วิสกี้ผสมโซดา (“whisky with soda”), and วิสกี้ใส่น้ำแข็ง (“whisky with ice”).
Usage
It is commonly used when ordering drinks at bars and restaurants, buying alcohol, or talking about drinking habits and preferences. It also appears on menus and product labels.
Caution
เหล้า is a broad term for liquor or alcoholic drinks, whereas วิสกี้ refers specifically to whisky. When stating a quantity, use a suitable classifier such as แก้ว for glasses or ขวด for bottles.
