Bunny Ears Lawyer/Real Life: Difference between revisions

** [[Winston Churchill]] goes one better. Worked and slept unusual hours, for a start, but topped it by holding a meeting with [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] while taking a bath. He commented that "two great men have nothing to hide from each other". This particular encounter occurred during his stay at the White House, during which time he more or less got Roosevelt operating according to his schedule (not that the fun-loving if workaholic FDR minded), which besides the odd hours meant drinking consistently large quantities of alcoholic beverages [[Drinking on Duty|even when making major decisions]]. Realizing that a substantial portion of the Allied strategy for World War II was cooked up by these two while never less than tipsy and frequently while hammered really makes you wonder.

*** In fairness, whilst there are many anecdotes about Churchill drinking, there are fewer about him being ''drunk''. His close contemporaries report that he very rarely got drunk, and that one glass of whisky would last hours.
