Ha! Here I was thinking I was a drinkaholic but I'd never heard of "gin and
it", so I googled it: gin and sweet vermouth. Hmmm. We all know that a
martini is gin and dry vermouth. Dry, yes, but I've never heard of 'sweet'
vermouth. "Sweet vermouth? Impossible", you say. So I had thought. I guess
I'm just not so reprobate as I feared I was.
I'm sure that "it and gin" is a pun, but I can't work it out. Help!

Atlas:
Ginsberg as a human being doesn't interest me.
---In Argentina, Ginsberg (a Jewish-American) is sometimes spelt 'Ginseng'.
Personally, I prefer "gin and it". (Which I pronounce, "it and gin")
Cheers,
