  • Drunk History

    So last year I fell in love with a series of four viral videos.  The premise was that a historian would tell a tale of history while under the influence of alcohol.  It made for some hilarious situations.  I posted three of the videos but I just never got around to posting the fourth so here is the story of Ona Judge and the fiifth about William Henry Harrison.

    And if you want to see the other three:  The Duel of Hamilton and Burr, Ben Franklin part 1, Ben Franklin part 2.

    Notice the guest stars in these videos.  I think that was another one of the appeals.

    I am thinking of doing my own Drunk History but I do not have video equipment or costumes.  First, I need to seek out medical advice as to whether or not I should get drunk for the sake of teaching history.  Second, I need to find someone to dictate what I say when I am drunk.  Finally, if I do this, I need to start drinking like 10 minutes ago.

    This could be a lot of fun.
