No one knows more about political drinking than author Mark Will-Webster, whose book "Mint Juleps with Teddy Roosevelt: The Complete History of Presidential Drinking" explores the stories behind each president's favorite alcoholic beverage.

"Presidents drink for the same reasons we all drink," Will-Weber recently told Business Insider. "Sometimes because it's part of the job, sometimes it's because they're lonely or depressed - there's a whole gamut of reasons of why people drink." For Will-Weber, knowing what the former presidents like to drink brings a "human side" to those that we "normally hold on a pedestal."
