Hi Camy–

I don't have the source available this weekend, but I recall a letter to
Livy
from London in the 1870's where he recommends a breakfast tonic he'd been
taking that had pepped him up considerably, consisting of whiskey, sugar,
and
lemon juice, which he called a cock-tail.

It reminds me of the probably apocryphal story of Lincoln being told that
Grant was a heavy drinker and saying, "Then find out what he drinks, and
send
a case to my other generals."

Off-topic, but anybody got the source for that one?

Gerald
