Yet still better than Jimmy Carter...  :laugh:

A big surprise for me was Nixon. Just never pictured him as a rum and coke guy.

Fits, though. Obama always did seem like a girl drink drunk.

If I become President, my drink will be Ninkasi Tricerahops India Pale Ale.  You heard it here first.

Am I forgetting my history or didn't we have a president named Taft between Teddy and Woody  ???
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

He likely didn't drink, but ate all his calories instead. ;)

I'm disapointed on what they have for Jefferson.

I would think a Virginia wine from the vineyards that have been reestablished from his plans at Monticello would be more appropriate, as he didn't just love good wine, he tried to make it.

Truman with the Makers Mark is a good choice.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Bacon is the candy bar of meats!

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.
