A Western Request

Friends,

Just once, in a serious western movie or television show, I'd like it if a cowboy, cowpoke, or an otherwise suffixed cowperson bellies up to the local watering hole with all the roughnecks, operators, sheriffs, marshals and hoopleheads and orders peppermint schnapps or even vodka, instead of whiskey, always whiskey (and the occasional beer) because there must have been someone drinking vodka or the frillier liquors out there in the muck of the old west, and one of them wore gun hoslters.
