"I Drink Your Milkshake"
If you don't know what "I drink your milkshake" means, don't worry. You're not living under a rock, you just haven't seen the movie "There will be blood".
What "I drink your milkshake" means in the movie
Eli is a manipulative preacher who is trying to get money from Daniel, an oil man, by selling the oil rights of one of his deceased members of his congregation.After humiliating Eli, Daniel reveals that he doesn't even need the land to get the oil because of drainage.
The Bandy pact (the deceased congregation member's land) sits on an ocean of oil; however, Daniel has already drilled around the Bandy pact and is taking the oil out from underneath it.
Daniel compares the concept of drainage to sticking a long straw into someone elses milkshake and drinking it up.
What "I drink your milkshake" means outside the movie
According to Wikipedia, "I drink your milkshake" is paraphrased from a quote by New Mexico Senator Albert Fall. He compared the term "milkshake" with the process of oil draining while speaking to senators before a Congressional investigation into the 1920s oil-related Teapot Dome scandal.Thanks probably entirely to the performance of Daniel Day-Lewis, it is now used as slang when bragging. If you beat your friend really bad at a video game, let out a good "I drink your milkshake" (though good luck sounding anywhere near as cool as Daniel Plainview).
Perhaps another reason the expression is taking off is because it compliments the popular 2003 song "Milkshake" by Kelis.
Or hey, maybe people just love to drink milkshakes!
Whether you think it's cool or it's stupid, "I drink your milkshake" is everywhere. There are now t-shirts, comedy skits, and websites based around the saying.
There will be blood
Written, produced and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson
In the most cheesy commercial-like way I can say it, you need to own this movie. It won tons of awards and landed 8 Academy Award nominations. Daniel Day-Lewis won Best Actor for playing Daniel Plainview. It also won Best Cinematography.
I don't usually care about what awards a film wins, but they were right on this one. We all know Daniel Day-Lewis should have won Best Actor 2002 for playing Bill the Butcher in "Gangs of New York", so it's good to see he didn't get robbed twice.
Another interesting tidbit. The actor who played Eli Sunday, Paul Dano, had less than a week to prepare for the part! He originally was only supposed to play the small role of Paul Sunday. You've gotta be kidding me. He did that good with only a few days of preparation? He was freaking awesome in this movie!

There will be blood is loosely based on Upton Sinclair's "Oil!" Paul Anderson was having a hard time writing the script until he came across this book.
