Former President Obama loves beer so much, that the White House brewed its own honey ale during his administration.
To celebrate Independence Day many American's will be cracking open a beer to celebrate the country's founding fathers.
No one knows more about political drinking than author Mark Will-Weber, whose book "Mint Juleps with Teddy Roosevelt: The Complete History of Presidential Drinking" explores the stories behind each president's favorite alcoholic beverage.
"Presidents drink for the same reasons we all drink," Will-Weber recently told Business Insider. "Sometimes because it's part of the job, sometimes it's because they're lonely or depressed - there's a whole gamut of reasons of why people drink."
For Will-Weber, knowing what the former presidents like to drink brings a "human side" to those who we "normally hold on a pedestal."
Ahead, take a look at the president's favorite alcoholic beverages, rounded up from Will-Weber's book and The New York Post.
