Abstract
In this paper, a selection of idioms related to drinking in English and Croatian are analysed. The aim is to analyse the similarity of the domain in the two languages; that is, how many of the idioms are readily translatable (have their equivalents) in the other language. A partially exhaustive list was compiled from various dictionaries of idioms which serves as a corpus which is further analysed. Furthermore, some examples which are either of cultural and/or grammatical significance are discussed and analysed in-depth. It is shown that English generally has a broader scope of idioms (concepts); but that Croatian has a larger variety of idioms for those concepts that are present in the language. Furthermore, it is often the case that English partial equivalents of Croatian idioms are not related to drinking at all. Croatian makes a much larger use of drinking as a conceptual metaphor to express various situations and states.
