55 men signed the United States Constitution. Afterwards, the 55 signors went to the bar and had a party. The bill survives to this day. It reads:
60 bottles of Claret 54 Bottles of Madeira 22 bottles of Porter 12 bottles of beer 8 bottles of whiskey 8 bottles of hard cider 7 bowls of rum punch
there is also a notation for various broken glasses, decanters, and several chairs.
This is literally my favorite historical fact.
“This is finally going to be a free country.. what a great day” “Wanna get drunk and kick each others asses?” “Fuck me up fam”
I have so much faith in our founding fathers
i almost became a constitutionalist just now
Almost.
Al…most….
