The few, the proud, the drunk: Meet America’s revolutionary yet ‘ungentlemanlike’ troops of 1776

My multi-great grandfathers were there.

SSG Robert Mark Odom - That was some interesting history and fun to read.
Drinking home brew because it was safer to drink than water, like the article says, surprisingly already had a long history in the Colonies. History tells us it was the same for the folks at Plymouth. Maybe it was the same throughout the colonies since it was still going on more than a century later!

Good read. Thanks!
