Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Thereâs the office: President of the United States. And then thereâs the man in the officeâprone to temptation and looking to unwind after a long day running the country. Celebrating the decidedly less distinguished side of the nationâs leaders, humor writer Brian Abrams offers a compelling, hilarious, and true American history on the rocksâa 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 Crosbyâs 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 wasnât all liquor. Some presidents preferred their drugsâNixon was a pill-popper. And others chased women insteadâboth ?the professorial Woodrow Wilson (who signed his love letters âTigerâ) and the good olâ boy Bill Clinton, though neither could hold a candle to Kennedy, who also received the infamous Dr. Feelgoodâs âvitaminâ injections of pure amphetamine.
Illustrated throughout with infographics (James Garfieldâs attempts at circumnavigating the temperance movement), comic strips (George Bush Sr.âs 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 chapterâs partier-in-chief.
