Opener

When you arrive to the bar to meet people, and you are well behind them in terms of alcohol consumption. You order an Opener. An Opener is generally a triple shot of any hard liquor in a pint glass and topped up to the brim with a mixer of some kind. My personal fave is Triple Vodka + Club Lemon. This slang is common to the Mid-lands of Ireland.

Barkeep: What can I get ya?
Risteard: I fancy an opener...hmmm...make it JD and Coke.
Barkeep: One opener coming up!

The Barkeep may or may not be Risteard's brother.
