    This meaning drifts from the cocktail to the person/game… But I don’t recall a meaning of bloody mary where the person hopes they die soon. Is this a reference that I don’t get? Or is it some sort of alcohol-related depression? Because I feel like they just lost sight of their metaphor.

    I also feel like there is a missed opportunity to have the entire prayer just list ingredients. You know, like bloody mary full of vodka tabasco be with you blessed are you among cocktails and blessed be your fruit or vegetable or whatever, tomato juice.

      It’s from the show archer and makes perfect sense in context. He’s an alcoholic, with a hangover, drinking a Bloody Mary as a hair of the dog thing (drink the next day to make the hangover less intense). The video is linked elsewhere in this post.
