seasoning

In a sentence

Some of our gentlemen officers, happening to stop at a tavern, or rather a sort of grogshop, took such a seasoning that two or three of them became “quite frisky.”

हमारे कुछ सज्जन अफ़सर, किसी सराय या बल्कि एक तरह की मदिरा-दुकान पर रुकते हुए, इतना नशा कर बैठे कि उनमें से दो-तीन 'बहुत मस्त' हो गए।
