9 A Most Epic Sailor Party
in 1694, a man named Admiral Edward Russell threw a party for sailors only. In order to quench their thirst, he filled a fountain with 250 gallons of brandy, 125 gallons of wine, 1,400 pounds of sugar, 2,500 lemons, 20 gallons of lime juice, and five pounds of nutmeg. It took 5,000 sailors a full week to finish this most epic batch of jungle juice.
