Ever wonder what was drunk after signing the Constitution?

The bill for a celebration party for the 55 drafters of the US Constitution was for 54 bottles of Madeira, 60 bottles of claret, 8 bottles of whiskey, 22 bottles of port, 8 bottles of hard cider, 12 beers and seven bowls of alcohol punch large enough that "ducks could swim in them." 4

Now thats a party

Nice, Andy!

One hopes that there is not a similar "bill of lading" for the pre-signing party!

I suppose after all the debate, drafting and redrafting the various articles, I would need something of that magnitude as well.

I think they knew what was coming if they signed it, so speed was of the essence. After all, you don't want to decant the wines for too long

Andy ,
If speed was of the essence , I would have only 21 Ports . . .

Would have been more, but that 12 pack of beer for a starter made them sick

A 12 pack of beer for 55 drafters !!
Obviously they couldn't hold a candle to any seasoned FTLOP member . . .

That is pretty weak eh? Nevermind the odd guy out who didn't like Madeira...
