Iain Banks
“Banksie, hi. What you up to?'
'Well, I'm going to be writing a book about whisky.'
'You're what?'
'I'm going to be writing a book about whisky. I've been, umm, you know, commissioned. To write a book about it. About whisky. Malt whisky, actually.'
'You're writing a book about whisky?'
'Yeah. It means I have to go all over Scotland, driving mostly, but taking other types of transport - ferries, planes, trains, that sort of thing - visiting distilleries and tasting malt whisky. With expenses, obviously.'
'You serious?'
'Course I'm serious!'
'Really?'
'Oh yeah.'
'... Do you need any help with this?”
Iain Banks, Raw Spirit

E.F. Benson
“He sat down by his table and began to think things out. He told himself he was not drunk at all, but that he had taken an unusual amount of whisky, which seemed to produce much the same effect as intoxication.”
E.F. Benson, Miss Mapp
