There are many reasons you may want to find dog names after alcohol… maybe you have a favorite drink, bartend, or own a brewery. Or simply enjoy a glass of wine or bottle of craft beer at the end of a long week. Naming a dog after something you love is a great idea.

We have you covered with both female and male beer, wine, liquor, and craft beer names… I’m certain you will find the perfect fitting alcohol name for your new puppy.

IMPORTANT: you may love your beer, wine or mixed drink… but alcohol is very dangerous for dogs. Do not allow your puppy or dog to drink any alcohol.
