Followup to: "Well drinks, calls and premiums...."  by Rick  (Fri Feb 1. 2002, 09:37 UTC)
a 'well drink' is a drink made with the cheapest & most economical products 
for the bar. the default brand for a 'vodka & tonic', is what ever is in the 
speedrail, and is designated as 'house brand'.

some quality bars pour quality brands as their 'house brands'. So the name 
'house brand' does not neccessarily mean the worst.

I have worked at bars that used: makers mark & woodford reserve as their house 
bourbons. 

the same bars made a point of not pouring (or even having) such brands as: 
smirnoff, gordons, bacardi. these brands are pub brands, and are definately 
not quality.
