Just logging in to say I thoroughly enjoyed your Greatest Drunks of All Time Series. I'm just a casual drinker, but got a kick out of these. Great stuff!

LOL Agreed! Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle BOTH used to go to Bars and Pubs EVERY DAY and get so wasted that they puked! GO BOSTON! Glad those whores weren't with us!

Well, folks . . . a great quote from the Bambino, instructing his secretary how to handle the mail:

"Throw out everything except envelopes with checks in 'em, and letters from single broads."

And cheers to the great Willie Mays--80 years old last week!

My grandfather was a successful bootlegger in his day. Brought it across the Atlantic from Saint Pierre and Miquelon to Newfoundland. Many years later, I kept the family tradition going. Anyway, cheers!

A home run..thanks. My father (now 91) met the Bambino twice. Ist time as a kid at a Notre Dame - Army football game in NYC. His dad was a NYC police detective..got my dad down to the Notre Dame bench. He watched the game sitting between Knute Rockne and Ruth. Years later my dad was a car hop working late nights. Ruth pulls in, in an open touring car full of people - mostly babes. He was impressed that my dad got all the orders correct without writing them down - gave him a $10 tip.

$10 then would be $200 or more now. Sweet tip!

About the Baby Ruth candy bar: the company had failed to negotiate an endorsement deal with Ruth, and many saw the company's story about the origin of the name of the bar as merely a way to avoid having to pay the baseball player any royalties.

A salute to George "Babe" Ruth, one of the greatest baseballers and one of the greatest drinkers of all time. In an era of prohibition The Babe was still drinking bathtubs of beer and bottles of rye whiskey while smacking homers out of the park.
