Partly in jest but also based on rumors and reputation at the time.
Abraham Lincoln said "Find out what whiskey he drinks and send all of my generals a case, if it will get the same results. - in reply to comments about General Grant's drinking problems"

It is said that when Lincoln was told that Grant was a drunk, he replied, “What does he drink, I want to give some to all my generals”, or words to that effect.
