Days before signing the US Constitution in 1787, George Washington and his pals racked up a bar tab at Philadelphia’s City Tavern worth the equivalent of $15,600 today, says Gastro Obscura. For 55 guests, the damage included 54 bottles of Madeira, 60 bottles of claret, 12 bottles of whisky, seven large bowls of punch, eight bottles of cider, 22 bottles of porter and 12 bottles of beer. Talk about a more perfect union.
