Winston Churchill

On his visit to the White House, the great man gave this instruction to President Roosevelt's butler Alonzo Fields: "I must have a tumbler of sherry in my room before breakfast, a couple glasses of scotch and soda before lunch and French champagne and 90 year old brandy before I go to sleep at night."
(from "No Ordinary Time" by Doris Kearns Goodwin)
