'It' is short for 'Italian vermouth'...
When you invite trouble you ask for it. When you want Italian vermouth (instead of French) you ask for "it" (as in "gin and it").

Do people still drink Gin and It?

When I worked in a pub (well over 40 years ago) Gin and It and Gin and French (and Babycham) were the drink of choice of a lot of the young ladies - these days they seem to go for spritzers, alcopops and other ridiculous drinks.

I would make it a capital offence to pour soda or lemonade into wine!!
