11 Drunkest Presidents in US History

11 Drunkest Presidents in US History

Strange choices.

Taft, who is on the list, was actually a non-drinker for much of his life. He became a teetotaller in 1906, three years before becoming President, and remained so for nearly a quarter of a century. Neither did he drink anything more than an occasional glass of beer before that. "I abstain from wines and liquors of all kinds."

Andrew Jackson, who is not on the list, was a bourbon drinker, and reportedly not a temperate one. According to Ohio History Central and other sources, Jackson "had a reputation for gambling and drinking."
