Usque = all the way

The Firkin Brewery, motto \'Usque Ad Mortem Bibendum\', started in 1979, in what was a shut-down Truman house. The chain that it became was sold in 1988 to Midsummer Leisure, then in 1990 to Stakis Leisure and then later to Taylor Walker, a division of the brewing giant, Carlsberg-Tetley.
The company acquired the Lamb in High Street in 1998 and changed its name to the Faunus and Firkin. They are now part of the giant Allied Domecq empire and not really a brewery at all!

: They always used to keep '... & Firkin' in the name, which was quaint.

: I don't believe 'ad mortem' means 'to the dead', but 'till death'

One should drink until the day he/she dies
I think this is the proper translation - though Dusty's is great!!! -, since the gerundive (bibendum)is for "necessity/obbligation", not for "command/invitation" (either imperative or subjunctive would have been used)...
PROSIT!!
