One of my favorite pieces of American history:
“The bar tab of a 1787 farewell party for George Washington is still intact. ‘According to the bill...the Founding Fathers drank 54 bottles of Madeira, 60 bottles of claret, 8 of whiskey, 22 of porter, 8 of hard cider, 12 of beer, and 7 bowls of alcoholic punch’. The party had 55 attendees.”
Wonder how long the party lasted ...
