Churchill was kinda a degenerate

Big time. And a piece of shit. Had some nice quotes though!

Wait did he really get a pass?

I believe there are stories buried on the Internets about Churchill and yards of ale. I could be mistaken.

TIL the UK had prohibition. Guess there's religious nuts all over.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh no, no prohibition in the UK - the exemption was written during one of Churchill's trips to the US.

Kinda makes sense then. I dunno about "indefinite," but making an exception for some alcohol for a visiting alcoholic would be necessary since going cold turkey can be fatal.
