We celebrate Ben Franklin’s 306th birthday this year (Jan 17).

The Drinkers Dictionary - a lengthy list of expressions about inebriation was first published by Franklin in the Pennsylvania Gazette on January 6, 1737.


....“The Phrases in this Dictionary are not (like most of our Terms of Art) borrow’d from Foreign Languages, neither are they collected from the Writings of the Learned in our own, but gather’d wholly from the modern Tavern-Conversation of Tiplers."  Ben Franklin
