  • Hi everybody.

  • My name is Shauna and this is the American English Podcast.

  • My goal here is to teach you the English spoken in the United States through common expressions,

  • pronunciation tips, and interesting cultural snippets or stories.

  • I hope to keep this fun, useful and interesting.

  • Let's do it.

  • Hey guys, hope you're having a nice day.

  • In today's lesson, we're going to go over the English expression three sheets to the wind.

  • As usual, we'll go through the expression's origin or the etymology to find out where it came from.

  • Then you'll hear three stories using the expression so you get an idea of how you can use it

  • in various different contexts.

  • But just a heads up, if you do not like hearing about alcohol,

  • then I highly suggest skipping this episode.

  • I very rarely talk about alcohol on this podcast,

  • but it's the nature of part one and part two of episode 184.

  • In part two, which will be posted next week,

  • we'll be talking about wine regions in the United States.

  • There are quite a few wine regions, but I'll focus on just a few.

  • I want to give you an idea of what it's like to visit them, what it looks like, what the vibe is,

  • what kinds of grapes and wines you can get in those specific regions, and also I would like to share how to order wine based on your tastes in English.
