Unless there was a reference involved, I think you made it much further than most Americans would have, even if they weren't drinking.

Yes, we had a reference -- without it, Abraham Lincoln would have been the next pub after George Washington

Even a feller like Jefferson, who's quite famous for being a constitutionalist, isn't very famous for being a president. "And on lead guitar, Mr Zachary Taylor [kerrrang!]."

It being a pub crawl, the question naturally came up of whether either John Adams was related to Sam Adams. Anyone know?
