Q: Which of these is John Boehner's favorite?

A: Yes!

Sock Ruh Tease		2013-01-14 02:13:51 PM

Go drinking with past presidents at the Willard

I thought he didn't drink and he didn't win.

Sorry, read the headline as "88 Drinks about 44 Presidents"

George W. Bush: Diet cola with a slice of lemon

Oh come on. Yes, we all know he was an alchy. So at least tell us what he drank before he turned into a quitter.

Speaking of which, does anyone know if the President still went to AA meetings while he was President?

Mugato		2013-01-14 02:46:45 PM

William J. Clinton: Tanquerary Gin and Tonic

Everyone says he was the first black President.

Actually, now that I think about it, somebody should write that song. 88 Lines about 44 Presidents

Washington would not be king, all he wanted was his pride
Adams was a feisty punk, who never found peace til he died

Jefferson was quite the Frenchman, down to banging all the maids
Madison wrote the Constitution, and smacked the British for their raids

James Monroe bought Florida, and thank you so much for all that
John Q was his father's son, and one of our best diplomats

38. Gerald R. Ford: Glenfiddich Whiskey over ice
it's whisky, not whiskey!

34. Dwight D. Eisenhower: Johnny Walker Black Label on the rocks.

Well, it's not even accurate to his post-drinking days. Bush drank Buckler non-alcoholic beer.

GiantRex		2013-01-14 03:10:32 PM

30. Calvin Coolidge: Cranberry juice and soda

A gentle New England tonic to fortify one's Puritan constitution.

I giggled.

Jackson Herring		2013-01-14 03:17:19 PM

Well Georgie had a house in Crawford,
Lived on brown rice and cocaine

Gin has got to be the world's whitest drink.

That was my first thought, too.

Deborah was a Catholic girl
She held out till the bitter end.
Carla was a different type,
She's the was one who put it in.

Somewhat related - currently enjoying a case of Yards Ales of the Revolution.

dl.dropbox.com

Includes Washington's recipe for porter, Jefferson's for ale, and Ben Franklin's spruce ale. Each delicious in their own way, though the spruce is the most exotic. Tastes like a pine tree, but in a good way.

Not according to Snoop.

ok, this is fng creepy:

42. William J. Clinton: Tanquerary Gin and Tonic
35. John F. Kennedy: Beefeater Martini, served up with olives
38. Gerald R. Ford: Glenfiddich Whiskey over ice

That's basically all I drink, if it's not beer, and those are all in my top five list of Presidents.

If FDR drank Hendricks and cucumbers I would run the hell out of here.

Hmm, I keep hearing about these Sazaracs. www.neworleansonline.com

I'll have to give them a try.

43. George W. Bush: Diet cola with a slice of lemon

Who the hell puts lemon slices in diet cola? I realize he's a recovering alcoholic, but that's just weird.

Bill_Wick's_Friend		2013-01-14 03:41:03 PM

Richard Nixon liked his scotch
Filled his glass with peat and smoke

Dubya never touched the stuff
He preferred a line of coke

Jimmy Carter had big teeth
Drowned them in his brother's beer

Barack Obama loves the salt
Drinks down all John Boehner's tears

Mmmmmmm.....mmmm mmm mm m mmmmmm mmmmmmmmmm

According to Kanye West, he drank the blood of freshly slaughtered black babies.

Wait...why does Cleveland get two?? He should have to put his drink down and finish it when he gets back in office!

Right. One wrap star v the entire British Empire.

A pint of Seagrams and a can of juice seemed like a very, very popular buy at the liquor stores in Baltimore.

smimmy		2013-01-14 03:46:41 PM

Mmmm... love me some Madiera. Martha Washington's recipe for Cherry Bounce ain't half bad either. Gah, another 2 hours of work before I can start drinking.

it's whisky, not whiskey!

The NYT style guide disagrees with you:

whiskey(s). The general term covers bourbon, rye, Scotch and other liquors distilled from a mash of grain. For consistency, use this spelling even for liquors (typically Scotch) labeled whisky.

/"whiskey" is used everywhere except for Canada and Scotland

Most recovering alcoholics I know put lime in whatever they are drinking, gives a bitter taste like cheap booze.

Bill_Wick's_Friend		2013-01-14 03:48:51 PM

Ronald Reagan just said "no"
Unless it was a chilled Moet

Taft would drink his weight in beer
A keg of nut brown ale a day

Hoover had to break the law
Buying bootleg bathtub gin

Clinton had more yuppie tastes
Sipping sparkling flutes of zin.

mmmmmm.....mmm.m..mm..m.m.mmmmm.mmmmmmmmm........

I do. I'm diabetic so don't want to deal with the sugar in regular soda, but don't always like the taste of diet coke or diet pepsi. A slice of lemon or lime helps mask it a bit.

/Prefers Coke Zero.
