What right have you to drink whisky? You've never been in Scotland..., 1881. Illustration to "People I Have Met. No. XVI. - THE TUTOR". 'Now and then he would be present at the men's entertainments; and even drop in casually of an evening on those who liked him. On one of these occasions he saw a lad of nineteen helping himself to a pretty stiff tumbler of toddy. "What right have you to drink whisky?" Johnson asked him. "You've never been, in Scotland." "No," replied the other, "but I have been in Ireland." It was all banter, but one could just detect in the tutor's tone the note of a kindly warning, which was also understood and taken in good part. He was, indeed, no hermit in love with total abstinence'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
