We're back with something special - our top 12 most intoxicating moments from Season 1! Join us as we revisit the wildest boozy tales that shaped history, from Roman drinking clubs to champagne myths. We'll reveal how Mark Antony sent drunken letters to the Roman public (the ancient equivalent of drunk texting!), explore whether the Royal Navy actually invented the mojito, and uncover the bizarre horse-trading practice that may have given us the word "cocktail" - involving ginger and a very uncomfortable equine experience.
We'll also dive into prohibition's ridiculous loopholes, discover how the French protected their precious vineyards during WWII, and finally settle the great martini debate - was James Bond actually right about shaking, not stirring? From naval rum rations to Hitler's stolen wine collection, these stories prove that alcohol has been causing chaos, controversy, and comedy throughout human history. Pour yourself something appropriate and join us for this intoxicating journey!
