Internet problems, work problems, drinking problems. Abbreviated BYCU today, courtesy of loyal TDE reader Rob, who sends along this nugget of history:

> The delegates who attended the Constitutional Convention spent much of their time getting drunk. One surviving document is a bill for a party on September 15, 1787, two days before the signing of the Constitution. Items on the bill were: 54 bottles of Madeira, 60 bottles of claret, 8 bottles of whiskey, 8 bottles of cider, 12 bottles of beer, and 7 bowls of alcoholic punch, all for 55 people.

I have a soft spot for the delegates who resisted the Constitution, the drunk Luther Martin comes to mind, but hey, who can dislike a group like that?
