Я сказал, что мы пили за здоровье тети Зины водку, а теперь надо выпить портвейна. В голове шумело, хотелось какого-то движения (Кожевников 1). I said that since we'd drunk to Aunt Zina with the vodka, now we should do it with the port. There was a roar in my head and I wanted some kind of action (1a).

«...Вот что можно: предварительно закусить с ним (Об-ломовым) и выпить он смородиновку-то любит. Как в голове зашумит, ты и мигни мне: я и войду с письмецом-то. Он и не посмотрит сумму, подпишет...» (Гончаров 1). "What you could do...would be to have a friendly snack with him (Oblomov) first, he's very fond of currant vodka. As soon as he gets a bit fuzzy, you can give me the sign, and I'll come in with the IOU. He won't even look at the amount, he'll just sign it..." (1b).
