"The demon drink"

"The demon drink" = đồ uống của quỷ -> đây là câu thành ngữ nhấn mạnh mặt xấu của rượu bia.

Ví dụ
It’s an odd (lạ lùng) paradox (ngược đời) that we often refer to alcohol as the ‘demon drink’, while simultaneously having it around at all the happiest moments of our lives (weddings, birthdays, the lot).

Like the demon drink itself, distilleries (nhà máy chưng cất) were not meant to survive US Prohibition, but this one did. “It was a very good time for the Buffalo Trace distillery because we had a licence to make whiskey for medicinal purposes, and a lot of people were sick back then,” says Comstock, with a grin. “We have records that show we were selling a million pints of our whiskey every month.”

Queensland trainer David Vandyke is now free of addiction but has a dark and troubled past, once living out of his car in Sydney's Kings Cross as he injected (tiêm) heroin and also battled the demon drink.
