In the United States, "wet" was also a slang term for opponents of Prohibition. A Wet was a political term much in use in the 1980s, describing Conservative Party members in Margaret Thatcher's government who opposed monetarist policies and supported increasing public spending. The term was originally applied to supporters of Thatcher's predecessor, Edward Heath, as well as Heath associates such as James Prior and Peter Walker. It came into common use by "Thatcherites" as a way to label opponents of her policies. Post-Thatcher, it has commonly been used as a disparaging term for liberal or left-wing ideas.
