Historical Figures

History overflows with heavy drinkers. What would happen if some of them went up against each other in an all-night drinking competition? Who would be the victor? That&#39;s for you to decide.

To make an educated judgment, it&#39;s important to get to know the stats and drinking styles of history&#39;s most notorious alcohol enthusiasts. Some were binge drinkers; some drank a little bit a lot of the time. In any case, all were&nbsp;well practiced in the art of holding their liquor, and alcohol had an impact on their life, celebrity, image, and work.&nbsp;

Like everything else in history, context is always important. Drinking cultures have changed dramatically over the last few dozen centuries, from the ancient Mediterranean - whose populations by and large drank alcohol like water - to the short-lived Prohibition of 1920s America. So some figures, such as&nbsp;Alexander the Great, came from cultures that measured a man&#39;s worth by his ability to drink, while others - i.e. Ulysses S. Grant and his bourgeois Victorian world - saw alcohol as a shameful dark demon&nbsp;to be wrestled with.

Choose your booze champion and vote up the historical figures you think would be the last man or woman standing at the end of a night of drinking.

People who grew up in the 1990s may feel some nostalgia when thinking about Surge, Shark Bites, or other <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-greatest-discontinued-1990s-foods-and-beverages/brian-gilmore" target="_blank">discontinued foods from the &#39;90s</a>&nbsp;- and those of a certain age will remember Zima. The clear malt beverage was a huge hit when it debuted in 1993, but it wasn&#39;t long before Zima&nbsp;became&nbsp;a pop-culture punchline. Using an extreme marketing campaign directed toward&nbsp;young American men, the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/coors-brewing-company-beer/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Coors Brewing Company</a> took advantage of the craze for clear products to target consumers who wanted alternatives to beer, wine coolers, and hard liquor. The company believed these people would enjoy the citrusy&nbsp;beverage.

Zima was among the first mainstream &quot;malternatives,&quot; paving the way for other notable bottled drinks, including Smirnoff Ice and Mike&#39;s Hard Lemonade. Coors spent millions on advertising in its attempt to attract young men toward&nbsp;the product. However, not many liked the taste, and many men didn&#39;t consider it manly enough to give their approval. Coors tried to rebrand Zima several times, but American consumers were largely uninterested, and it was discontinued in the US in 2008. Nostalgia kept it in many consumers&#39; minds, however, and re-releases proved people would buy it, even if they joked about drinking it at the same time. So why do people still remember Zima? The drink may not have won over consumers with its taste, but its influence on both alcohol and internet marketing are still seen today.

<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/bartender-holiday-stories/linda-meyers" target="_blank">Bartender stories</a>&nbsp;are the best. Since they deal with such a wide variety of people under some of the strangest circumstances, everyone who&#39;s worked in a bar is bound to come out of it with a wild tale at some point. From belligerent drunkards to inebriated&nbsp;imbeciles, hilarious hijinks to absolute horror stories, here are stories of bartenders who finally had enough, and had to cut off their customers from downing any more drinks before things got even more out of hand!

Bartenders Tell The Wildest Stories Of When They Had To Cut Someone Off

Love it or hate it, sales make the world go 'round. But hey, at least it's a paycheck, right?

Customer Service & Retail Life

If there&rsquo;s a more thankless job than that of a bartender, we haven&rsquo;t heard of it. You have to work <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/bartender-holiday-stories/linda-meyers" target="_blank">terrible hours </a>for&nbsp;bad money&nbsp;and you constantly run the risk of dealing with human nightmares who don&rsquo;t know how to handle their alcohol. Bartender stories are some of the craziest anecdotes&nbsp;we&#39;ve heard from any workplace. You get&nbsp;people acting on their basest instincts and in ways they would never normally act&nbsp;all in the name of having a good time. As you might be able to guess, a lot of these bar <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/bartenders-drunk-stories/linda-meyers" target="_blank">cut off stories</a> involve drunks getting their lights punched out, screaming matches, and truly bizarre antics.&nbsp;Yeah, it&rsquo;s safe to say that these bar stories are pretty intense.&nbsp;

If you&rsquo;ve ever been kicked out of a bar then you know how hard it is to actually get a bartender mad at you. One might say that you actually have to go out of your way to be 86&rsquo;d. The people in these drunk stories definitely go above and beyond the call of duty on their mission to be tossed out of their local dives. Some of these human nightmares sound like they make it their life&rsquo;s work to get cut off, while some of the other ne&rsquo;er do wells seem like they might have just had a bad night. Whatever the case, you don&rsquo;t want to follow in the footsteps of these characters.

Rock &#39;n&#39; roll goes hand in hand with debauchery -&nbsp;that is&nbsp;until someone can&#39;t play guitar or remember the words. It&#39;s not entirely surprising that some of your favorite rock stars might have indulged a bit too much before hitting the stage over the years, but sometimes things go too far and make for some very uncomfortable performances. Other times they can lead to <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/rockstars-die-on-stage/sean-kelly" target="_blank">tragic experiences</a>.

Whether the artists themselves had substance use problems at the time, most&nbsp;of the drunkest performances in history come mostly from bands who were known to party a bit too hard. Others are certainly surprising.

For the Love of Whiskey

poll

For certain alcohol lovers, there&#39;s nothing better than a good American bourbon. From bourbon whiskeys&nbsp;to other popular bourbon brands, this list is an extensive collection of the various flavors of the favorite drink of many. The names of both top selling bourbons and more obscure varieties are listed below, so if you&#39;re looking for a great bourbon this is the place for you!&nbsp;

Bourbon is a very distinct tasting liquor. All bourbon must be aged in new, charred-oak barrels, and is given a distinctive flavor based on the number of years it aged. Some consider bourbon to be one of the truest forms of alcohol. Bourbon whiskey is an alcoholic beverage that is made primarily from corn and produced in the United States. The mash can be different combinations of malted barley, rye, wheat, and at least 51% corn. Whatever is used gives the bourbon a different flavor. As the bourbon ages in the wooden casks, it gets its color from the caramelized sugars in the charred wood. However long it is left in the cask is also going to change the taste of the bourbon. Due to variations in these processes, there are many different whisky and bourbon types.&nbsp;

Drinkers have many varying options to consider when trying to choose which bourbon is the right one for them. What is the most popular bourbon brand? Should they go with a single barrel bourbon like Elijah Craig, Basil Hayden&#39;s or Pappy Van Winkle? How about an aged, blended bourbon like Jefferson&#39;s Presidential Select, Four Roses, or Wild Turkey? Do you prefer Kentucky bourbons or other top shelf varieties for your drinking pleasure?&nbsp;

This list is to help determine which kinds of bourbon are&nbsp;the best tasting out there through votes from the Ranker users. There are some great examples of bourbon below, so&nbsp;vote up your favorite and vote down the ones that just miss the mark.

Though many international beers are great, sometimes you just need a reliable, American brewski.What makes a great tasting beer basically boils down to the quality of ingredients used. A cheaper, lower quality will use less expensive ingredients in the brewing process and often uses a substandard method of fermentation and processing. A higher quality brew will use the best processes of malting, boiling, fermenting, filtering and packing the product, resulting in a higher quality of beer. The basic components of beer include a source of starch (like malted barley) which is fermented, allowing it to be converted into an alcohol, a brewer’s yeast and a flavoring agent.This list discusses the best domestic beers from the United States, including: Bud Light, Budweiser, Coors Light, Miller Lite, Busch, and Michelob Ultra Light.Vote up your favorite domestic beer or add one you love that isn't already on the list.

The history of presidential drinking starts with George Washington, who actually had the largest whiskey distillery in America at the time. Since then, the US has had presidents who drank bottles of wine, gallons of beer, every manner of whiskey - and sometimes, nothing at all. Some presidents drank staggering amounts, while others barely took a sip in office.

Presidential cocktails have included Washington&#39;s insanely strong &quot;Fish House Punch,&quot; JFK&#39;s daiquiris, and Lyndon Johnson&#39;s bottomless cup of Cutty Sark and soda. American presidents have enjoyed the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/countries-with-the-best-wine/ranker-travel?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best wines in the world</a> and bathtub gin, Chinese grain alcohol and homemade beer, bourbon for breakfast and lonely belts of scotch.

The history of alcohol in America, from colonial cider drinkers to prohibition hooch smugglers, shows the lengths Americans went for their booze. Some cowboys were said to be so desperate at the saloons they threw back a mixture of gin and strychnine, while some speculate that the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock in winter because they <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/facts-about-early-american-booze-consumption/rachel-souerbry" target="_blank">ran out of beer</a>. In the late 19th century, Americans flocked to bars to try new, exciting cocktails, while German immigrants popularized a new style of beer.&nbsp;

The American history of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-top-shelf-alcohol-brands/ranker-shopping" target="_blank">alcohol</a> is also the history of trying to control drinking. When cider&#39;s popularity threatened the temperance movement, abstainers burned down apple orchards. And when tequila smugglers crossed the Mexican border during Prohibition, the Prohibition Bureau tracked down their mules. The biggest crisis of George Washington&#39;s presidency came when the new government tried to tax whiskey. American drinking habits may have changed, but America&#39;s love of booze hasn&#39;t.

Vodka is one of the&nbsp;<a href="/list/the-top-spirits/marron">best liquors</a>&nbsp;out there, for a variety of reasons. Some love its bitter, subtle tastes. If you're watching your caloric intake, vodka is one of the lowest calorie liquors. And, not to mention, it's potent. All vodka must be a minimum of 37.5% alcohol to be considered vodka by European standards, but most traditional vodkas are 40% alcohol (AKA -&nbsp;80 proof). If you're a lover of this Russian alcohol, you're probably on the hunt for a good vodka brand as your go-to.&nbsp;&nbsp;Vodkas have distinct flavors related to how they're produced. Some vodkas are produced from grains such as sorghum, corn, rye or wheat. Others are made from potatoes, molasses, soybeans, grapes, rice, or sugar beets. This affects the flavor, as does the rest of the process.&nbsp;After harvesting ingredients,&nbsp;they are&nbsp;then placed in a still and filtered a set number of times. The amount of time changes the taste, as do any flavors added during this process.&nbsp;Since all of these factors come into play, different kinds of vodka have different tastes. Popular providers all think they have the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-tasting-vodka/bottoms-up?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best tasting vodka</a>, but which top shelf brands are actually telling the truth?&nbsp;Here, you can help fellow vodka lovers identify the best of the best.&nbsp;Ask yourself - which vodka should you spend your money on?

<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-beer-brands/bottoms-up">Beer</a> is more than just a beverage. The history of beer dates back thousands of years, and it has helped shape the course of civilization. At times, beer has even <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/how-beer-changed-history/steve-wright">saved lives</a>. There are so many amazing facts about beer that you probably don't know - and they'll definitely&nbsp;give you a deeper appreciation for this magical elixir.Beer is made up of barley, hops, yeast, and water. All variations of beer are derived from this basic formula, from the darkest stout to the lightest pilsner. Sometimes other grains, such as wheat, are used instead of barley, and sometimes additional &quot;adjuncts&quot; (like fruit, chocolate, or coffee) are added, but the basic process is still the same: brew, ferment, and drink.Exactly how beer was invented is unknown, though it is generally considered to have developed alongside <a href="http://www.history.com/news/ask-history/who-invented-beer">cereal agriculture</a>. Grains are staple crops&nbsp;and can grow in more varied climates than grapes. As such, the means to make beer was more widely available than <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/how-wine-changed-the-world/laura-allan">wine</a>.Before sanitation was properly understood, beer was often used as a replacement for water. Because the water is boiled during the brewing process, any harmful bacteria present in the water is killed. The low alcohol content acts as an additional preservative and it could be transported on ships where it was impossible to keep clean water. For these reasons, beer played a large part in the spread of civilization across the globe. Where humans explored, beer followed. Check out more surprising beer facts below.

The "You Are Drunk" meme features various animals, objects or plants either in places where they really should not be or performing actions that are very unusual. These are usually hilarious stand-alone pictures in of themselves, but attributing the characteristic of being drunk to them elevates the humor to a whole other level. Anthropomorphizing something like a house and calling it drunk because of poor craftsmanship is just funny for some reason. Calling a piano drunk because it's up in a tree is really damn funny too. I don't know why but the "Piano, You Are Drunk" or the "Bruce, You Are Drunk" or even the "Tree, You Are Drunk" viral photos are just great single images. They started out as viral images on places like Reddit, 9Gag (I know, they actually contributed to something for once) and 4Chan and eventually graduated as a whole way to characterize an object, animal or plant in a picture that seems to be in a completely ridiculous situation.

Whiskey is a very distinct tasting liquor. Since it is made in a burnt wooden cask, it is given a smokey head. Some consider whiskey to be one of the truest forms of alcohol. Whiskey is an alcoholic beverage that is made from combining water and a mash of grains. The mash can be different combinations of barley, rye, wheat or corn. Whatever is used gives the whiskey a different flavor. It is then placed in a wooden cask that is made out of burnt oak and left to age and ferment. However long it is left in the cask is also going to change the taste of the whiskey. Since all of these factors come into play, each whiskey producer comes up with a whiskey that taste slightly different from another's. This leaves the drinker with many varying options to consider when trying to choose which whiskey is the right one for them. Should they go with the lighter and smoother Canadian whiskey like Canadian Club, Crown Royal or Black Velvet? How about a fuller American blend like Jack Daniels, Knob Creek or Maker's Mark? This list is to help determine which whiskey is the best tasting out there through votes from the Ranker users.
