Well obviously Heidegger would have whatever Hitler was having. But then Hitler
was banned for fomenting a putsch last time he brought his crowd in. So,
following Die Fuhrer's later example, Heidegger should have a large hemlock and
soda or, to keep in with late period Nazi trends, a cyanide and soda.
Sticking with German-speakers but moving on from Nazi sympathizers,
Wittgenstein and Popper wouldn't be drinking anything alcoholic, and Popper
would have cotton wool in his ears to protect them against the jukebox so he
wouldn't hear any offer of a drink.

Subject: [lit-ideas] The Philosopher's Arms
My friend from childhood apparently produces a program with this title. So the
immediate question for the minds here assembled is…if such an establishment
followed the convention established by P.G. Wodehouse in the Mulliner stories,
by what drink should each philosopher be known?
Example, Socrates might be called, “a small Hemlock and soda."
