This concern partly explains why people allegedly consumed 3 to 5 times more [[alcohol]] than the average American today! The most common beverages included [[beer]], [[rum]], [[whiskey]] or bourbon. Hard cider was a breakfast classic, including for kids. The Americans also enjoyed cocktails such as the popular and nutritive "flip", a mix of hot ale, rum or brandy, sugar, eggs and a spot of ground nutmeg. Several [[Founding Fathers]] of the United States such as [[George Washington]], [[Benjamin Franklin]] and {{Wiki|John Adams}} had close relationships with alcohol, being [[Smuggling|smugglers]], [[wine]] lovers or hard drinkers. Some even say that alcohol may have played a role in heating up the spirits for the [[Patriots|Patriot]] cause. In any case, [[tavern]]s, which were crucial gathering places, often turned into revolutionary headquarters. | Drinking water was not necessarily safe in the [[United States|Colonies]], due to germs and other sanitary issues.
