WORDING
This word should be stricken.  It is not a common term of art.  While it's in
the pocket edition above, it is not listed at all in the Sixth Ed. of Black's
Law Dictionary (full size version-1990).  It is listed with a very different
definition in The American Heritage Dictionary, 2nd College Edition as:
"n. 1.The act of drinking.  2.A drink, esp. an alcoholic beverage.  [< Lat.
potare, to drink.]"
