Then, what does a drink up mean?

For a drink made without ice or mixer, you'd order it “neat,” and it would be served to you in an Old Fashioned cocktail glass. So, you might say, “I'd like a bourbon, neat.” To order a martini “up” or “straight up,” means you'd like it chilled. A cocktail that is poured over ice is “on the rocks.”

Similarly, what is whiskey straight up? A drink served "neat" is a single, unmixed liquor served without being chilled and without any water, ice, or other mixer. Neat drinks are typically served in a rocks glass, shot glass, snifter, Glencairn glass, or copita.

Also, what is difference between neat and straight up?

Neat refers to a shot of liquor, generally scotch or bourbon, poured straight from the bottle into a glass with no ice or water and served at room temperature. Up involves a drink that is shaken or stirred and then served as is, no ice or water. On the rocks of course means with ice.

Is whiskey meant to be sipped?

First off, it's important to note that whiskey is not meant for chugging. Whiskey is intended to be leisurely sipped. This isn't some frat party. It may not look like much, but remember, whiskey is intended for sipping and enjoying, not chugging and puking.
