    Actually it originated in England and was adopted in the U.S. in the 1700’s. The word nog is believed to originate from the word noggin. A cup used to drink rum. You asked :)

    Actually the whole egg nog thing goes back to the 1300’s. Some drink they made and then let ferment. Guess it was good as long as you didn’t die. Weird how word meanings change over time. Remember when bad meant good. So will “sounds like ass” someday mean outstanding sound? :)
