wine legs

Sense 3 of legs is written almost identically, minus the wine. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 18:06, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

@Metaknowledge: That was my doing. I've reverted it. To what extent does that change your mind here? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:37, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Not at all. This is still SOP because that sense exists. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 20:03, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Sure, but as far as I'm aware, it's specifically called "wine legs", not "bourbon legs" or "whiskey legs". —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:33, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

So what? It's specifically called an "cat tooth" and not a "hawk tooth" because hawks don't have teeth. I fail to see how that would make cat tooth less SOP. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 02:54, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

If it's called "wine legs" even when it occurs in whisky and not wine, that is a point in favour of a "wine legs" entry. I briefly looked up "whisky legs" in Google Books and found one obvious hit; there might be more. Equinox ◑ 02:59, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Hard redirect to the aforementioned sense of "legs". When I searched for "wine legs" on Google Books I noticed that a lot of hits are actually even more transparently SOP as "[the] wine's legs". The fact that people refer to bare "legs" or "legs of [the/a] wine" with these sense, and rarely also to "alcohol legs", "whisk[e]y['s] legs" and "liquor's legs", shows that the sense of "legs" is not limited to "wine legs", and hence the "red dwarf" test is not met. As an aside, what I expected when I saw the entry title was something like "(legs that are prone to) unsteadiness / stumbling due to drunkenness". - -sche (discuss) 16:25, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Delete or hard redirect to legs as per -sche. --SanctMinimalicen (talk) 13:41, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Delete or hard redirect or RFV if someone thinks it's also used for other alcoholic beverages. Per utramque cavernam 10:38, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Redirected to legs. — SGconlaw (talk) 06:45, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
