Dry Drinks - what`s the crack?

The other day I was talking with my wife, as happens sometimes, and somehow the subject of dry drinks came up. Like dry ginger ale, for example. But "dry" drinks, really? What the /%/$§ for? I don't know about you, but when I drink, it`s usually(usually) due to thirst. Why would one want ones drink to be dry?

Here`s a thought: How about a glass of beach sand? That stuff`s pretty dry. Or how about some good old Aussie outback dust with your beer? That`s gotta dry things up a bit. I think I might just market a new soft-drink as "Extra Wet", or "Wetter than the Rest", and see how that takes off.

English is a bizzare language, at the best of times...
