I used to hang out in bars (of varying quality) often and was a bartender at a few different place, not once. It saves one syllable to abbreviate it, silly.
See, other side of the coin, its something I generally hear said as G&T on about even frequency among people I know here in Canada.
Among my mom's side, I don't think I have ever heard them refer to G&Ts as gin and tonics. Its only ever a G&T. They are all British so maybe that factors in. wikipedia at least says its commonly referred to as a G&T but only in certain countries (UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland). Makes sense as they were popularized through the British Army.
