It’s
Week 2 of the political conventions, which makes this the perfect time to take
a look at the Democrats and their imbibing commanders-in-chief.
“Drinking
with Democrats” author Mark Will-Weber has concocted a read that’s funny and
refreshing, giving you insight into those Democratic Party Animals and their
choice of liberal libations.
While
not all presidents fit easily into the Democratic ranks, thanks to parties that
are now defunct, Will-Weber does an excellent job aligning those who were known as
Democratic Republicans (Not a typo.) into the party base while providing
liberal pours of politically incorrect history on the Dems, behind-the-scenes at the White
House.
You’ll
discover interesting Democratic POTUS drinking facts like:
Thomas Jefferson |
Which
Democratic presidents utilized liquor to buy votes?
What
president could always be counted on to retell his squirrel whiskey tale?
Who
was the founding father of wine?
What
POTUS enjoyed beers in Ireland and impressed the natives with his ability to drink Irish beer?
Who
had a fondness for Bourbon? (Lots of Bourbon.)
And
what Commander-in-Chief preferred beer to any other beverage?

Mark
Will-Weber, a seasoned journalist and magazine editor, offers an amusing,
tongue-in-cheek look at past Democratic presidents and their drinking habits
including favorite beverages, drink recipes and bar tips poured out with a
twist of humorous antidotes.
So
pour your favorite libation, turn on the tube and tipple along with the
Democrats as you peruse this book. You might find you’re mighty impressed with
that drink!
