The History of Patiala Peg

Did u ever get a chance to make your drink as gigantic as a Patiala peg? Well many people must not be aware of the saga of Patiala peg which has gained popularity all over the world due to its unusual large size.
The extraordinarily large proportion of alcohol was believed to be enjoyed by the erstwhile maharajas of Patiala. The volume of Patiala peg increased the appetite of mighty kings like anything. The history of the ‘name’ is unfolded by the incident when the teams of the British and the maharaja of Patiala decided to play a match of Polo against each other. The night before the match Maharajah of Patiala organised a party for both the teams. The Players of the Patiala Team had very large pegs of whisky and that too neat (without any soda or water). The British players, in an attempt to imitate their counterparts, also drank large pegs but couldn’t digest them. Some collapsed and weren’t able to get up in the morning to play the match. The ones who made it to the battlefield could not play properly as the hangover of the alcohol was too much for them to handle. From that very day the unusual large size of the pegs came to be known as Patiala pegs.
It got wide recognition among the British, as it was considered to be a wild adventure. So GUYS n GALS try Patiala, only if you are confident that you can handle it well.
