I read of an exchange between Stonewall Jackson and one of his officers. It went something like this:

Do you ever touch whiskey, General?

I do not, sir.

Don't like the taste, General?

I like it very much, sir. That is why I do not touch it.

I’ve heard a story that when someone complained to Lincoln about Gen. Grant’s drinking, Lincoln remarked that they should find out what brand of whiskey he drank and give it to the rest of the Union’s generals.
