Seconds but for drinks crossword: Top tips and tricks to solve it quickly!

Okay, so I was trying to solve this crossword puzzle in the LA Times the other day, and I got totally stumped. You know how it goes – some clues just click, and others, well, they just leave you scratching your head. This one clue was “seconds but for drinks” and man, it had me pulling my hair out.

First, I tried to think of synonyms for “seconds” in the regular sense. You know, like “another portion” or “additional helping.” But that didn’t get me anywhere. None of those words fit with the other letters I had already filled in.

Then I thought, “Okay, maybe it’s not about food, maybe it’s something else.” So, I started listing out different types of drinks. Wine? Nope. Beer? Nope. Juice? Nope. Nothing seemed to fit the bill.

I decided to dig deeper on the internet. I searched for “seconds but for drinks crossword” and found a bunch of results. It looked like I wasn’t the only one who had struggled with this clue. I clicked on a few forum discussions and people were throwing out all sorts of guesses, but nothing concrete.

After a while, I found a crossword solver website that claimed to have the answer. The website listed that it had found 30-40 possible answers. I scrolled through them, and read various comments and discussions. Some comments were related to recent years, like “Dec 13, 2023.” I kept reading, and read, read, and read until I found something that seemed promising.

Finally, I found one user comment who said, “I’ve seen this clue in the LA Times.” And someone replied to the comment mentioning something about it, but it didn’t give me the exact answer. But it got me thinking about location names. I knew Warsaw was a city, so I looked it up and learned that it’s the capital of Poland. And then I remembered reading about Utica and the Mohawk River, but that didn’t seem relevant to drinks.

I was just about to give up when it hit me. What if “seconds” referred to something that gets added to a drink, like a chaser or something else? I started going through different drink additions in my head. And then, BAM! It clicked!
