Slugs

It is common knowledge that slugs are partial to beer ale and stout, but they will actually prefer bourbon, or similar spirits. If the slug consumes the alcohol, it evaporates in a short time, turning the slug into a small, very hard bullet shape. This phenomena is referenced in the vernacular for a 'slug' or 'shot' of whiskey, and also as a synonym for a lead bullet.
