Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
There's the office: President of the United States. And then
there's the man in the office--prone to temptation and looking to
unwind after a long day running the country. Celebrating the
decidedly less distinguished side of the nation's leaders, humor
writer Brian Abrams offers a compelling, hilarious, and true
American history on the rocks--a Washington-to-Obama, vice-by-vice
chronicle of how the presidents like to party. From explicit love
letters to slurred speeches to nude swims at Bing Crosby's house,
reputations are ruined and secrets bared. George Washington
brokered the end of the? American Revolution over glasses of
Madeira. Ulysses S. Grant rarely drew a sober breath when he was
leading the North to victory. And it wasn't all liquor. Some
presidents preferred their drugs--Nixon was a pill-popper. And
others chased women instead--both ?the professorial Woodrow Wilson
(who signed his love letters "Tiger") and the good ol' boy Bill
Clinton, though neither could hold a candle to Kennedy, who also
received the infamous Dr. Feelgood's "vitamin" injections of pure
amphetamine. Illustrated throughout with infographics (James
Garfield's attempts at circumnavigating the temperance movement),
comic strips (George Bush Sr.'s infamous televised vomiting
incident), caricatures, and fake archival documents, the book has
the smart, funny feel of Mad magazine meets The Colbert Report.
Plus, it includes recipes for 44 cocktails inspired by each
chapter's partier-in-chief.
