for the gods

The act of pouring out some your alcoholic beverage for the gods. Used during the Classical period of Rome and Greece. Its basis is in the fact that there is a certain amount of alcohol you were going to drink in the given night, and you are sharing it with gods because you are not selfish.

A guy approaches another guy in a bar. "For the gods?", and as they each pour some of their drinks out, they other replies "For the Gods".
