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.
That makes perfect sense. He was a master negotiator and manipulator. Even next to Nixon, I think LBJ is the one true sociopath we've ever head as president haha.
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.
You didn't mention, Pierce also lost his his 11 year old kid in a train accident that him and his wife were also in. They both saw their boy almost decapitated. The drinking probably came from that
Van Buren drinking buttermilk actually makes quite a lot of sense. To this day, it's a normal thing to drink in the Netherlands, so given the fact Van Buren was raised with a lot of Dutch culture, him drinking buttermilk isn't surprising.
buttermilk was also my grandpa's drink of choice buttermilk also used to be popular here in Finland, but less so with younger people these days. It kind of grows on you though, even if it might taste weird at first
It was common in the old days on farms...as everyone churned their own butter. All the country folks born before WWII, no matter where they were in the US, were used to buttermilk and often drank it.
For reference, 1 gallon of coffee, 128 oz, is 2 pots of coffee in a standard 12-cup coffee maker. I've drank that much before, and if I had to stay sober all the time due to my job, I'd do it again.
So basically presidents often drink coffee and common alcohol beverages like champagne, wine, and some whiskey. Rarely some were teetotalers, others prefer fruit juices and milk.
@@iammrbeat Unless I'm mistaken, it seems like Kennedy was the first President to enjoy drinking tea since et the American Revolution. I'm not saying he was assassinated for un-patriotically drinking tea...but I'm not "not" saying that either.
Fun fact, the Washingtons' recipe for cherry bounce is widely available online! A former professor of mine actual made some for Christmas presents last year, and from what I heard, it was really good!
I have a GW holiday cake recipe that is also soaked in booze and the icing even has a good bit too. It's very good and has disappeared quickly at any gathering that I've brought it to.
In the early 2000s, my late wife and I went to the Round Robin bar in the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C., to meet John. John was a bartender known for his knowledge of the president’s’ favorite drinks. He was a great host, and as my wife and I were teachers, he covered our tab as a thank you. Definitely a great memory.
I swear Diet Coke is the favorite of all alcoholics. My coach would drink two or three during a practice. On special occasions she would then chase it with beer and a red bull vodka
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.
Aaron Burr's favorite drink was coffee. He drank it frequently while traveling through Europe. In his journal he often complained that it stopped him from being able to fall asleep.
Fun Fact: We have it on record that Reagan preferred decaffeinated coffee, because there's footage of Queen Elizabeth II ordering some for him aboard the Royal Yacht Britannia.

LBJ's beverage buttons were the subject of a $1 Million question on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire in 2008. The question named three: Coffee, Tea, and Coke (instead of the "Johnson") and asked which was the fourth. The contestant guessed Yoo-Hoo instead of Fresca, becoming the only person to go for the big one and lose.
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.
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.
@@angelichobi__18 Working at a yogurt company, raw whole milk, skim and cream was not hard to get. I dabbled in the free stuff probably daily ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Chester A Arthur is buried basically in my aunts backyard. I went through the cemetery a lot when I was younger and thought it was a cool conversation piece to say a presidents buried so close to my house. I’m glad every time he pops up in your videos because I’ve always had a weird personal connection to him. He’s buried very close to my own grandparents!
You reminded me of one of my history professors in college. He had spent a fair bit of time one day just talking about the impacts of sugar, and how many wars and how much blood has been spilt over it.
Thanks for posting, from a fellow coffeeholic. I'm with Dick Nixon on keeping the expensive red wine all in the immediate family & serving the cheap stuff to guests.
Do you suppose he filled Air Force One with crates of "Two Buck Chuck" from Trader Joe's while spending time at the West Coast White House, to fly back for state dinners in D.C.?
@@merriemisfit8406lmao @ Two Buck Chuck. Haven't heard that in years. Whatever he served, something tells me that he poured the cheap stuff into an expensive bottle. I just getting that vibe...
Coconut water is a completely normal drink in America, but Buttermilk definitely isn't. In the states we don't consume many fermented dairy products, so buttermilk to us just tastes like milk that's gone bad.
@@iammrbeat In the Midwest, especially the southern parts, we eat a lot of stuff that most people wouldn't, like deer, sheep, squirrel, and such. Deer heart and liver tastes great, although a bit rubbery.
In the immortal words of Rob Zombie: " I am the Astro-Creep A demolition style hell American freak, yeah I am the crawling dead A phantom in a box Shadow in your head say-"
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 fact that the US went from not having a teetotaller president in over a century to having two teetotaller presidents in a row... It's not what I expected to be honest.
Buttermilk (karnemelk) is still a common drink in The Netherlands, mostly amongst the older generation. So Martin van Buren’s Dutch roots showing there…
Mr. Beat, just to remind you, later this year when you turn 42 you said you were going to have Teddy Rosevelt’s exact birthday dinner as mentioned in the Presidents favorite foods video. I hope it goes well!
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
Great video. I always thought Nixon’s favorite drink was a cocktail named “navy grog” 2 oz Plantation Original Dark Rum 1 oz Plantation 5 year Rum 3/4 oz fresh lime juice 1/2 oz grapefruit juice 1/4 oz (or to taste) allspice dram You probably guessed I’m a fan of this drink too! Thanks for the great content!
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.
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).
Mr beat I found you when I was searching for Mrbeast and I found you by a spelling mistake and I watched your Maine and Louisiana compared video and o liked it so I started watching you daily and now Every night your videos help me sleep thank you for making good historical vids mr beat ❤
I recently quit alcohol starting this year, for health, family & financial reasons. I used to hit half a dozen beers almost every day. I wanted to stop while I'm still young. All I do is smoke weed now. I already feel less bloated and more energetic. Occasionally I drink a soda to stop the cravings. So far I've been doing great, not a drop of alcohol! My favorite alcohol was Rolling Rock beer and a Fuzzy Navel, which is peach schnapps + orange juice. I also liked blackberry wine and champagne. I love to put a tablespoon of honey in my coffee with plenty of milk, every single morning.
For health reasons, smoking isn't great either. (it's not just tabaco leaves that craete cancerous substances when being burned. It's almost anything that burns that creates toxic and cancerous fumes which should not be inhaled if it's for health reasons. Secondly, you may have heard that alcohol in the long run makes people dumber. (reduces intelligence). Scientists from Newzealand (where weed is legal for longer than in the US) have conducted a long term study over 20 or 30 years (i read the study about 8 years ago) and they compared weed users and non weed users intelligence over the decades. The non weed users stayed the same with their intelligence level, while the weed users lost significantly on their intelligence scores the longer they were taking it. (meaning the years they were consumers). So if it's for your health, it's probably not that good to change one problematic substance out for another one.
@@nirfz Hun I don't know where you got your propaganda from, but weed isn't problematic, doesn't cause cancer and doesn't reduce intelligence. That's a VERY broad statement. I use marijuana for medical purposes, both physical and mental.
@@ThunderTheBlackShadowKitty Scientific research from New Zealand about the intelligence. You can find it online and read it. (I did years ago) And it does reduce intelligence in the long run. About the cancerour and toxic fumes: also not propaganda, but common knowledge. And i can up that one thing by the results researches on a childrens hospital in autstria found about non adult use of weed and psychosis and depression: For those predisposed for either, 1 time smoking weed can be enough for the diseas to break out. Thanks to the not fully develloped brain. (in europe until yo are an adult, childrens hospitals treat you). With adults it takes more than one time use, but presidpositioned people increase their risk dramatically for psychosis and depressions to break out. Funny thing that many users think this stuff helps against that, when it can even be the root cause they have it. So please stop trying to depicture it as absuolutely harmless when it isn't. You do the same as drinkers about alcohol, they try to ignore everything bad and try to make it look harmless to justify their own adiction.
I remember when G.H.W. Bush was president that he had some health problems from drinking too much coffee, as much as 6 cups per day. Tom Clancy at that time wrote in two of his novels that the coffee served in the White House and on board Air Force One was "Jamaican Blue Mountain." I was curious and finally ordered a pound for $50 back in 2007. It was dark roasted but tasted more like medium to light roast. I swear that particular coffee has a very different caffeine than anything else I've ever felt. I've tasted many better tasting coffees but the expanded-mind enlightenment, the sense of spiritual lift, and the happy energy I felt was like nothing I'd ever experienced before. After drinking a cup of that stuff you can imagine how all those lunatics in Washington can always be inspired to find more ways to waste our money!
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).
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.
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!
I know someone else already commented about the orange gatorade- but I can't get over it 🤣 Thanks Mr. Beat- my life wouldnt be complete without ever knowing that an almost alarming amount of modern presidents love diet coke.

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

So basically presidents often drink coffee and common alcohol beverages like champagne, wine, and some whiskey. Rarely some were teetotalers, others prefer fruit juices and milk.
That's a good way to sum it up. Not a lot of tea drinkers.
we must remember from bond films the golden rule: if the american drinks tea, they're often the villain

The contestant guessed Yoo-Hoo instead of Fresca, becoming the only person to go for the big one and lose.
I didn't know anyone would know about the soda buttons. 😅
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.
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.
I cant explain it, but it just makes so much sense that Rutherford B. Hayes was a lemonade guy.
For me it made sense because I always connect Hayes to compromise. Lemonade is a drink that everybody can probably agree on in a pinch.
Coffee, buttermilk and bourbon, gotcha covered Harry!
I remember that his wife got the nickname "Lemonade Lucy"!

And a convenient mixer for so many different alcohols😊
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.
“Even though he was lactose intolerant he loved to drink milk” Just described me in a sentence, Lactose intolerant but loves milk

Mostly normal alcoholic beverages, and then 12 cans of Diet Coke a day and orange Gatorade. Truly our most interesting presidents
There's something about Regan drinking screwdrivers but calling them orange blossom specials that makes way too much sense

Chester A Arthur is buried basically in my aunts backyard. I went through the cemetery a lot when I was younger and thought it was a cool conversation piece to say a presidents buried so close to my house. I’m glad every time he pops up in your videos because I’ve always had a weird personal connection to him. He’s buried very close to my own grandparents!
You reminded me of one of my history professors in college. He had spent a fair bit of time one day just talking about the impacts of sugar, and how many wars and how much blood has been spilt over it.
Thanks for posting, from a fellow coffeeholic. I'm with Dick Nixon on keeping the expensive red wine all in the immediate family & serving the cheap stuff to guests.
Do you suppose he filled Air Force One with crates of "Two Buck Chuck" from Trader Joe's while spending time at the West Coast White House, to fly back for state dinners in D.C.?
@@merriemisfit8406lmao @ Two Buck Chuck. Haven't heard that in years. Whatever he served, something tells me that he poured the cheap stuff into an expensive bottle. I just getting that vibe...
8:34 correction: Pierce was 64 when he died, he just was very close to 65 (dying 46 days before his 65th birthday).
South Indian here.
Mr Beat thinks liking buttermilk and/or coconut water is weird.
I consider those two to be some of the most based drinks around.
Coconut water is a completely normal drink in America, but Buttermilk definitely isn't.
In the states we don't consume many fermented dairy products, so buttermilk to us just tastes like milk that's gone bad.
Teddy's favorite being Coffee explains a whole lot about what kind of man he was
The food one proved I have the pallet of a 19th century president with squirrel stew and apple pan dowdy.

Wait you really tried the squirrel stew???

@@iammrbeat In the Midwest, especially the southern parts, we eat a lot of stuff that most people wouldn't, like deer, sheep, squirrel, and such. Deer heart and liver tastes great, although a bit rubbery.

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
I thought that was grant
Would love to see your search history
"George Washington's favorite drink"
"John Adams' favorite drink"
"Thomas Jefferson's favorite drink"
And so on
Believe it or not, it's much more convoluted than that! lol
@@iammrbeat I believe that, based on how detailed your videos are.
Once again, you make another great president video! Keep it up with the great videos!
Thank you!
The fact that the US went from not having a teetotaller president in over a century to having two teetotaller presidents in a row... It's not what I expected to be honest.
Me neither!
I've knew Trump was a teetotaller due to his brother struggling with alcoholism. I didn't realize Biden was as well
Bidens had beer at the White House when Obama was President.
Buttermilk (karnemelk) is still a common drink in The Netherlands, mostly amongst the older generation. So Martin van Buren’s Dutch roots showing there…
I'm calling tea "hot clear soup" from now on.
You know, I always imagined Theodore Roosevelt as a bourbon guy, but honestly coffee just makes way more sense when I think about it
Mint Juleps have bourbon in them, so you’re not wrong.
My morn. coffee has bourbon in it 😜😊.
Mr. Beat, you make learning stuff like this about presidents VERY FUN AND INTERESTING. More than any school ever could.👍👌
Mr. Beat, just to remind you, later this year when you turn 42 you said you were going to have Teddy Rosevelt’s exact birthday dinner as mentioned in the Presidents favorite foods video. I hope it goes well!
14:02 I read in a book once that Taft was also very fond of milk. He owned two dairy cows and had his milk squeezed fresh from them.
My gr gr grandfather wrote in his diary: “Dined with President Hayes, and the water flowed like wine.”
I literally watched the live starting at Arthur and Mr Beat said at the beginning it is ok to skip to Arthur. I feel so seen, Mr. Beat.
WOAHNESS
I'm quite fond of coffee myself, actually. I especially like cappuccinos, but I don't mind the other types. Thanks for an informative video Mr. Beat!
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
Chuck Norris' favorite drink is a mixture of blood and tears from his defeated combatants.
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.
I just found your channel and I love it! The simplicity and straightforwardness is awesome!
Great video. I always thought Nixon’s favorite drink was a cocktail named “navy grog”
2 oz Plantation Original Dark Rum
1 oz Plantation 5 year Rum
3/4 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 oz grapefruit juice
1/4 oz (or to taste) allspice dram
You probably guessed I’m a fan of this drink too! Thanks for the great content!
Wonder what the president enjoyed during prohibition 👀
I wouldn’t be surprised if they drank
Alcohol, of course.
"Rules for thee not for me."
peach brandy
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.
Washington once again being the most American ever.
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’ll Grant you, that Champagne and Lemonade should be a Sunday brunch cocktail alternative to Mimosas and should be called a Grant! 🥂
haha I'll Grant you that as well
Mr beat I found you when I was searching for Mrbeast and I found you by a spelling mistake and I watched your Maine and Louisiana compared video and o liked it so I started watching you daily and now Every night your videos help me sleep thank you for making good historical vids mr beat ❤
That's amazing. I appreciate you sharing that with me.
You made great use of the Kavanaugh meme 😂 Also, Teddy drinking a gallon of coffee a day is equal parts amazing and unsurprising
That meme is already a classic. And same thoughts about Teddy!
I love your videos!
Johnson also called his ___ Dumbo. It was huge like an elephant trunk.
Biden's favorite drink: You know "that thing"
😂
That thing is Gaterade.
Keep up the great work Mr Beat. Respect
Sugar is a drug
- Mr. Beat
Thanks for quoting me on that.
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 just love coffee. And cocktails. I really like cocktails.
Great video as always, par to Mr. Beat's quality. I suggest doing the presidents favorite sport or hobby to continue the series. Cheers!
I recently quit alcohol starting this year, for health, family & financial reasons. I used to hit half a dozen beers almost every day. I wanted to stop while I'm still young. All I do is smoke weed now. I already feel less bloated and more energetic. Occasionally I drink a soda to stop the cravings. So far I've been doing great, not a drop of alcohol!
My favorite alcohol was Rolling Rock beer and a Fuzzy Navel, which is peach schnapps + orange juice. I also liked blackberry wine and champagne. I love to put a tablespoon of honey in my coffee with plenty of milk, every single morning.
For health reasons, smoking isn't great either. (it's not just tabaco leaves that craete cancerous substances when being burned. It's almost anything that burns that creates toxic and cancerous fumes which should not be inhaled if it's for health reasons.
Secondly, you may have heard that alcohol in the long run makes people dumber. (reduces intelligence).
Scientists from Newzealand (where weed is legal for longer than in the US) have conducted a long term study over 20 or 30 years (i read the study about 8 years ago) and they compared weed users and non weed users intelligence over the decades. The non weed users stayed the same with their intelligence level, while the weed users lost significantly on their intelligence scores the longer they were taking it. (meaning the years they were consumers).
So if it's for your health, it's probably not that good to change one problematic substance out for another one.
@@nirfz Hun I don't know where you got your propaganda from, but weed isn't problematic, doesn't cause cancer and doesn't reduce intelligence. That's a VERY broad statement. I use marijuana for medical purposes, both physical and mental.
@@ThunderTheBlackShadowKitty Scientific research from New Zealand about the intelligence.
You can find it online and read it. (I did years ago)
And it does reduce intelligence in the long run.
About the cancerour and toxic fumes: also not propaganda, but common knowledge.
And i can up that one thing by the results researches on a childrens hospital in autstria found about non adult use of weed and psychosis and depression:
For those predisposed for either, 1 time smoking weed can be enough for the diseas to break out. Thanks to the not fully develloped brain. (in europe until yo are an adult, childrens hospitals treat you).
With adults it takes more than one time use, but presidpositioned people increase their risk dramatically for psychosis and depressions to break out.
Funny thing that many users think this stuff helps against that, when it can even be the root cause they have it.
So please stop trying to depicture it as absuolutely harmless when it isn't.
You do the same as drinkers about alcohol, they try to ignore everything bad and try to make it look harmless to justify their own adiction.
That’s implying smoking weed is a good alternative to beer
@@Zakkatoos Which it is. Unlike alcohol, weed is medicine.
I’m pretty sure my favorite drink is stringy, a mix of brandy and white crème de menthe. But if this what you found out about me, I won’t complain.
Well you'd know better than anyone.
Don't get ahead of us
I remember when G.H.W. Bush was president that he had some health problems from drinking too much coffee, as much as 6 cups per day. Tom Clancy at that time wrote in two of his novels that the coffee served in the White House and on board Air Force One was "Jamaican Blue Mountain." I was curious and finally ordered a pound for $50 back in 2007. It was dark roasted but tasted more like medium to light roast. I swear that particular coffee has a very different caffeine than anything else I've ever felt. I've tasted many better tasting coffees but the expanded-mind enlightenment, the sense of spiritual lift, and the happy energy I felt was like nothing I'd ever experienced before. After drinking a cup of that stuff you can imagine how all those lunatics in Washington can always be inspired to find more ways to waste our money!
Maybe the next video of presidents favorite things might be every president’s favorite sport
How convenient for a sequel to the food video to come out the day I decided to rewatch it.
Woah, Jesus!
@@iammrbeatwhat about him???
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).
After the Boston Tea Party, we started drinking coffee instead of tea.
Here's the thing though, American coffee has always been incredibly weak compared to European coffee
I used to feel bad for drinking milk as an adult but after watching this, apparently I have Presidential drink preferences.
This was a very enjoyable video, Mr. Beat! I think I’ll go get a cup of coffee ☕️ 😊
Morgan and Morgan did me very good after a motorcycle wreck. Good sponsor!
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.
Did you know ... both President and First Lady Hoover had university degrees in geology! A good major for "down to earth" folks.
Wilson using an ad slogan for his campaign is equivalent to a got named MacDonald running for president with the slogan “I’m loving it”
lol good point
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!
The drinking sound effect makes me fall to pieces 😂
I couldn't resist once I saw the dog drinking sound effect
@@iammrbeat hilarious! 😂
@@iammrbeatxD
normally i skip over the sponsor part of the videos
but being from florida, i felt almost obligated to watch for morgan & morgan 😂 for the people!
There is something about William Howard Taft that makes me doubt he only drank Coffee and Champagne...
This is probably my favorite series of yours! So interesting😁
Glad you dig these videos :)
When you mentioned the 4 buttons on Johnsons desk, i honestly thought it was gonna be Tea, Coffee Fresca, and "The Bomb"
Great video Mr.Beat! A great way to start my day!
Thank you, Thom
Biden's choice is milkshakes
coolidge also enjoyed the soft drink moxie, which was very popular at the time. He even reportably had it at his inauguration
Considering that Coolidge was from Vermont, and that Moxie was from Maine - makes sense that he preferred Moxie to Coke or Pepsi.
I know someone else already commented about the orange gatorade- but I can't get over it 🤣
Thanks Mr. Beat- my life wouldnt be complete without ever knowing that an almost alarming amount of modern presidents love diet coke.
Honestly I don't know what to say about that!
Apparently Biden prefers Coke Zero.
I could be wrong but I remember hearing FDR popularized dirty martinis. A personal favorite of mine
I remember seeing Trump talk about why he doesn’t drink. His older brother was an alcoholic and it led to his death.
Joe Biden has similar reasons addiction runs heavy in his family, his mother’s Irish side of the family has had alot of alcoholics.
Every single video you make always makes me draw comparisons between my late grandfather and Abraham Lincoln
Who knew? I have more in common with Grover Cleveland than I thought!
lol
Trump's abstinence from alcohol was largely due to the death of a brother who who was an alcoholic.
Fun fact; Elvis Presley 🎸 rarely drank beer 🍺 because as a kid he'd see his family yards covered with empty beer cans. 😌
That is often what does it for people. It’s not an easy thing to see.
You should have totally played that “I almost drank me 15 doctor peppers” clip from Forrest Gump during the Kennedy part.
EXCELLENT Mr Beat! You have a wonderful Talent- The harder you try not to sound Sarcastic the more you DO Sound Sarcastic- giving an impression that The DRINKS no matter what for each PREZ was causing somekind of Craziness...Craziness from Diet Coke to Orange Juice! Thank You!
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
