Thats actually not a ton. Thats roughly 453 drinks. Divided by 55 guys is 8.23 drinks per man. Maybe the percentage was higher. So let's say 12 to 13 servings per man. I can do that sitting on the couch watching movies. Hahaha. If it was really only 8.23 drinks per man, that can be done easily In a 2 to 3 hour period. Hardly hardcore drinking.
Thank you for the information. I appreciate it. It’s a bummer that it is closed. I wonder if America 250 can find someone to reopen it. Gadsby’s Tavern is great. Colonial charm and they have peanut soup. I got hooked on that at Mt. Vernon.
YW dude...I've read about Gadsby's Tavern a couple of years ago and saved their website on my phone because I hope to visit someday and have a meal to soak up the Historic atmosphere! I've never heard of peanut soup but it sounds yummy!
Holy crap! So what was the proof on the alcohol back then—probably higher than it is today too. That’s unbelievable! 🥂Cheers—party like it’s 1787!
That’s unreal! They were strong men.
imagine if they had cellphone cameras
If only!!!
Kek. There was that one jewish oil painter there with his young niece, but the technology wasn’t ready at the time.
Hahahaha! Welcome to Epstein’s bar! Someone’s young niece and someone’s oil paints and someone’s bar. They are still charging interest.
How long was the party? Were there drinking games? Was Nancy Pelosi there?
I dont begrudge the founders a good party - they earned it!
"Was Nancy Pelosi there?" Literal LOL at that one.
I hope someone took their car keys.
...AND, their horses...😸
The horses were probably the original self-driving cars. Friend helps friend onto horse. Guy says, "take me home". Horse takes him home.
Horses speak hooman! SO smart! 🐎 ✨
Nah, you just put the drunk guy on his horse and put the horse on autopilot!
Fighting for Independence and Founding A Country can work up a thrist!
Pretty sure,the water wasn't safe to drink,and they knew it,
Correct.. water was iffy in their day..
Dayum lol. That's a lot of drinking lol.

8.23 drinks per man? After 2 or 3 drinks I'm wiped out. I wouldn't be able to make it to drink #8! I guess I'm a drinking light weight....
Yea lol. Ive always had a tolerance.ryns in the family.
They could have used AA back then... but it only came about in the 1930s.
Are we still paying the % on that Gov't debt? 🤔😮😖
Probably... it's enough now to pay for a division of infantry.
First Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry (A-1/104CAV) paid the bill, here’s the original invoice.. here's the invoice:

Good, that will help with National Debt Crisis. 😮Oh, wait Trump's building a bigger Ball Room, we'll never pay the debt off now. 😭
We may have here the first overcharging of the government in history!
Kek!
Didn’t George have a wooden leg?
Wait, no, that was teeth!
That's a light afternoon for Hillary, Nancy, & Kamalatoe
I think it was at Gadsby's Tavern in Alexandria, VA.

The farewell party for George Washington in 1787 was held at the historic City Tavern in Philadelphia.
This event took place on September 14, 1787, when the Light Horse of Philadelphia hosted a farewell entertainment in his honor.
The celebration occurred just days before the signing of the U.S. Constitution
