If you’re keeping score, 22 Presidents generally preferred drinks with caffeine in them and 22 Presidents generally preferred drinks with alcohol in them. Oh, and then there was Rutherford Hayes, who preferred sugary lemonade.
You may have noticed that of all the Presidents, 100% of their favorite drinks had drugs in them. And yes, sugar is a drug!

1) I'm a tea drinker like James Madison. 2) While I have your attention: Twice impeached Trump was the worst US president in history for many reasons. #1) Trump committed an act of treason against the US by inciting a violent insurrection on January 6, 2021. #2) Trump’s incompetence regarding his management of the US response to the Covid-19 pandemic between January 2020 and July of 2020. Thousands of US citizens died as a result Trump’s failure. If Trump had a proper immediate response to the pandemic the way that the South Korean government did, then thousands of US citizens who died would still be alive today. #3) In April of 2019 Trump vetoed the resolution to end US military support of Saudi Arabia's GENOCIDE of thousands of innocent civilians in Yemen! Trump was using the US military to support GENOCIDE in Yemen! #4) Trump violated the Emoluments Clause of the US Constitution for his entire 4 years in office, then in 2019 Trump verbally mocked the US Constitution. The foundation of the USA is the US Constitution, that is why the presidential inaugural oath includes to swear to protect and defend the US Constitution. In January 2017 Trump publicly swore an oath on a bible at his inauguration ceremony to protect and defend the US Constitution. In 2019 Trump mocked the US Constitution by publicly saying the words "phony emoluments clause". In December of 2022, after Trump left office, he again disrespected the US Constitution. #5) Trump misogynistically and adulterously said of women: "Grab them by the pussy."! Trump committed adultery with Stormy Daniels and then tried to cover it up. Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, was in prison for crimes related to Trump's cover-up of his adulterous scandal with Stormy Daniels. Most Republicans claim to be the moral party and/or the majority Christian party, but hypocritically enthusiastically want to give an adulterous Donald Trump, another 4 years in office. If a US president who was a member of the Democratic Party did the terrible things Trump has, of course, the Republican Party leaders would be screaming for his removal from office. #6) Trump committed the crime of obstruction of justice. #7) Trump committed crimes of trying to tamper with elections, especially in Georgia. #8) Trump's attempted abuse of power regarding Ukraine. #9) Trump committed tax fraud in New York State, which is partly why Trump hides his tax returns. #10) Trump practiced corrupt nepotism as he appointed unqualified members of his family into positions of power in the executive branch of government. #11) Trump illegally destroyed documents and illegally took documents with him after he left the office of president. There are many other horrible things about Trump. Here are some of them: Donald Trump is a dumb corrupt businessman which is why he hides his tax returns. Donald Trump is not a self-made man, he benefited from nepotism. His daddy Fred Trump gave him millions of dollars to start businesses many of which have failed! Donald Trump's failed businesses are many but include: Trump Airlines, a Trump Casino, and Trump University. With his failed Trump University, he defrauded hundreds of students. In Trump's many construction projects he failed to pay some of his contractors. Trump committed fraud with his non-profit in New York State which is why Trump recently transferred his residence to Florida. Donald Trump is too stupid to write his own book which why he hired a ghost writer to write "The Art of the Deal". When Trump was in high school, he hired another boy to take his SAT college entrance exam. Trump claims that he is smart, but he refuses to show us his college transcripts. Donald Trump's daddy bribed a physician to write that Donald Trump had bone spurs and therefore could dodge the Vietnam War draft. Donald Trump and his dad also practiced racism in who they would rent properties to in the 1960s and 1970s. That is just scratching the surface of the long list of horrible things about Donald Trump.

Grant's over-indulgence of alcohol may have been overstated. One of his biographers opined that he never drank when he was in the company of his wife or when military matters were pressing. He drank when nothing important was going on and his wife was away, and he didn't handle his alcohol very well, leading to embarrassing moments.

I would like to point out in the case of Franklin Pierce, he suffered severe depression and was in mourning because he and his wife lost all three of their children and he was likely traumatized when he witnessed his last surviving son die and was decapitated in a train wreak weeks after he won the 1852 election. It is likely this affected his performance as president.

The way the tour guides at the Hayes home in Ohio tell the Lemonade Lucy story, alcohol was not 100% eliminated from the White House. It was sometimes served to foreign diplomats in order to avoid an international incident. Also, there apparently was alcohol in their home in Ohio. They described the alcohol-free White House idea as an attempt to set an example in contrast to Hayes' alcoholic predecessor Grant.
I regularly eat at George Washington’s favorite restaurant. It’s a five minute walk from where I live. It’s been in business continuously since 1743. They have a detailed archive of prominent guests, various renovations that they’ve done, lots of pictures from the earliest days of camera photography, etc. And of course my favorite reason for eating there - the food is absolutely divine! When I step into that place it’s as if I’ve always been there. I feel more at peace in there than anywhere else that I know.

I feel I need to make one correction. I have studied FDR for the last 40 years and have even been to his home and library in Hyde Park more than once. FDR's favorite cocktail was the martini. He would prepare them daily for himself and his friends and staff every afternoon during what he called 'the childrens hour.' Which was basically a cocktail time before dinner. His second favorite drink was an old fashioned.

My grandfather was a waiter in a hotel in NYC and whenever Hoover had a party or dinner while staying there, always requested that my grandfather work the party. According to my grandfather, Hoover was a very friendly man and a gentleman.

Fun fact: Franklin Peirce during his presidency, was so hammered that one day he ran a woman down with his horse that he was riding and was arrested for DUI. He spent the night in jail and was released

the Johnson sounds pretty good! So ESTJ, with a key to order each favorite drink! So efficient. I am going to try a few of those favorite drinks and see with whom I agree most. Hard cider and lemonade are already favorites, coffee too.
Just as someone who works with beer on a daily basis and as a huge beer nerd I noticed one small inaccuracy: a snakebite doesn't use lager. It uses Guinness which is made using ale yeast. When talking about beer there are two big main categories:ales and lagers. Stouts and porters fall under the ale category
I love this series and your videos. I’m Dutch but still it’s so fun & as someone with a law background I love the clear approach and the way you show people all parts, good or bad. In case we ever get some US history or about the other subjects you present on our program, I will suggest some of your videos!
This is probably my favorite series of yours! So interesting😁

Nixon was also a regular at Trader Vic's (tiki bar) in DC where he would down a Navy Grog or two (a relatively strong rum cocktail, containing 3oz of rum, 1 of which is overproof along with lime, grapefruit, allspice liquor and sugar).
I could be wrong but I remember hearing FDR popularized dirty martinis. A personal favorite of mine

I believe I read somewhere that during Hayes' presidency, members of the Cabinet would bring in oranges spiked with rum so they could get by Lemonade Lucy's "no booze in the White House" law.

Funny to hear about the Bloody Mary thing, the cocktail I most associate with Kennedy is the Daquiri (something he picked up as a Naval officer). Also worth mentioning that LBJ's scotch of choice was Cutty Sark (a cheap blended scotch). I was sad not to hear about Nixon's love of the Mai Tai or the Navy Grog. Apparently he loved to go to Trader Vic's near the White House, and they would sometimes open for him after hours.
The dog lapping sound for you drinking is great
When you mentioned the 4 buttons on Johnsons desk, i honestly thought it was gonna be Tea, Coffee Fresca, and "The Bomb"
Here in Italy being a teetotaler is much more common than in the anglos' regions of the world, so it's not crazy to hear that a prime Minister or President never drinks alcohol, it's pretty normal

thats kind of interesting! the stereotype of europeans in general, especially the french and italians tends to be 'a lot of wine, especially red wine" not to mention a lot of nice alcohols, spirits and liqueurs come from italy.

@@FlameG102 it's simply due to the fact italians learn how to drink (especially wine) at an earlier age than usual, the parents teach their kids what kind of wine needs to be paired with the various types of dines. However, we drink for the sake of enjoying dinner or lunch or enjoying hanging out with our friends, so we never exaggerate our amount of sips. We don't drink for the sake of drinking or getting drunk, this is considered strange and people will look down on you for doing that. Being teetotaler is normal 'cause many people simply don't NEED to drink to enjoy company
Coolidge loving apple cider makes sense considering he was a New Englander.
Loved the video! Is there a way to make a video about every Presidents’ favorite holiday(s)? White House History just posted about Reagan’s love of St. Patty’s Day and I’d like to hear more.

Chuck Norris doens't need a favorite drink, he can drink any beverage and out of fear, the beverage will change it's taste to his liking.

As an Orange Gatorade lover, I can only like it when its cold or when I'm sick. Orange is the only flavor that tastes so much more bland when warm.

I would love to learn about the history of coffee on the development of the colonies and the nation. It seems the Patriots were as obsessed with coffee as much as we are today. The subject has popped up in a lot of things I've see and read lately and I am a little bit surprised. I guess I just thought they all drank tea or whiskey. Coffee has probably had a massive effect on our notional growth in so many ways. And I'm walking over to my nespresso. Lillian Carter always had a shot or two in her morning coffee (per Sam Donaldson).
