Especially during Prohibition. What politician couldn’t get their favorite brand of alcohol during that time?

I heard somewhere Obama likes a watered down Shirley Temple (in Pink!) waiting for him on a small patio near the 18th hole.

Apparently it’s “honey Ale” (retch).

Some of us suspicioned that Bill Clinton may have been drunk when he hurt his knee.

Heck, after Washington got rid of the compet...er, put down the Whiskey Rebellion, he had one of the largest distilleries in the new country at Mount Vernon.

Gotta love our Founding Fathers. LOL
But I was thinking more of the hypocricy of politicians during Prohibition. They got theirs but the common folk couldn't have their beer after work.

Herbert Hoover supported Prohibition, but could stop by the Belgian embassy for a drink. Foreign embassies were not required to observe Prohibition, and the Belgians were grateful for his efforts to food to people who would have starved otherwise.

I’ve always wondered what a mint julep tastes like. One of these days I’ll just have to find out.
