Abraham Lincoln was a bartender

…before he was President obviously! Considered one of the greatest President's in the United States of America's history, Lincoln’s liquor license was discovered in 1930 and displayed in a Springfield liquor store. A Lincoln expert once said that in 1863 Congress wanted to fire Ulysses S. Grant because he drank too much (it was a different time) and Lincoln’s response was to instead send him some whiskey.
