When ordering old-fashioned-like, disclose nothing

While at the 2nd ever Savory Cocktail night at Alembic bar on Haight, I overheard the most disturbing, but possibly thoughtful(?) comment. Mulling over their newly acquired pre-prohibition drinks (the theme of the night), one young rough looking man says to his likewise leather clad friends, "I'd give you guys some of my drink, but I totally have this cold sore right now."

Informative, sure. Considerate, definitely. But I couldn't help thinking there were a ton of of other ways he could have avoided drink sharing than promoting mental images of sores.
