Some U.S. presidents are well-known for their love of drinking alcohol. But was Abraham Lincoln one of them, or was his favorite drink surprisingly different?

Brill went further with psychohistory at the 1931 American Psychiatric Association convention when he gave a paper called “Lincoln as a Humorist.” President Lincoln and other past presidents had already been posthumously psychoanalyzed, but Brill took psychohistory to a new level with his reading of the Great Emancipator.
