Just for giggles, what does that actually translate to in English? (obviously not a pangram after translation - just curious what it says)

I think it means something like "My big girl Zoe wants me to drink this whiskey but I don't want to drink it". Now Mithalwen can come and laugh at me for my horrible (*almost unexistent*) knowledge of French.
