Favorite Brands Of Famous People

Has anyone compiled such a list? I know William Faulkner drank Four Roses. Or at least a bottle of Four Roses is on display at the Faulkner house in Miss. I'd love to know what Tallulah Bankhead drank. And Jerry Lee Lewis.

Supposedly Joe Paterno of Penn State football drank old grand dad after every victory.

Alice Cooper drank Seagrams VO to excess, but is now sober.

The author and researcher Thomas Stanley found that rich people and celebrities often drink cheap stuff because they don't try to impress others. Nor do I. I'm not famous but I like Old Heaven Hill as good as stuff costing 2-3 times more.

Hunter S Thompson famously loved his WT101
"It is all well and good for children and acid freaks to still believe in Santa Claus — but it is still a profoundly morbid day for us working professionals. It is unsettling to know that one out of every twenty people you meet on Xmas will be dead this time next year... Some people can accept this, and some can't. That is why God made whiskey, and also why Wild Turkey comes in $300 shaped canisters during most of the Christmas season"

A quote from Mr. Faulkner, "I'll drink most anything, Bourbon, corn whisky, between scotch and nothing I'll drink scotch".
