The legend of Jack Daniel reaches all the way back to the moment he was born. Unfortunately, nobody knows exactly when that was. Some records show that Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel came into the world on September 5, 1846. His tombstone, however, says 1850. Strange, because his mother died in 1847.
All of this might not normally matter, but Jack's birth date is important to his overall legend, which proudly proclaims him "the boy distiller." So perhaps it's best we begin when Jack was first introduced to whiskey, which we know was early in life. Leaving home at a young age, Jack struck out on his own with nothing more than a handful of items valued at $9. He ended up at the home of Dan Call, a preacher at a nearby Lutheran church and the owner of a general store. There, Reverend Call also happened to sell whiskey that he distilled himself.
Jack quickly became determined to learn the craft. In fact, many storytellers claim the boy wonder bought the still from Call and began pursuing the business full-time at the ripe age of 16. If that legend is true, then Jack began selling his own Tennessee whiskey only three years later; the famous black labels on the company bottles proudly pronounce, "Established and Registered in 1866."

From the page: "Drinking and driving is a universal no-no. But with the British Pub Crawler not only is it allowed, itâ€s encouraged. In fact, itâ€s safe and as easy as riding a bike.
While steering and maneuvering is done by two professional drivers, the actual propulsion is delivered by 10 cheerful beer drinkers, each with a set of chain-linked pedals at their feet. Ecotality points to the Daily Mail report, in which the Pub Crawler is described as the ultimate â€oeBooze Cruise”.
Introduced to the streets of London by 35-year-old Luke Robertson, â€oethe Pub Crawler is legally classified as a quad cycle, so it can be used on public roads. It does not need a drinks license because customers are not sold any alcohol while they are on board. Instead, the cost of the drinks bought at pubs en route is included in the hire price, which ranges from ÂŁ450 to ÂŁ1,500.”
Come to think of it, with endless gridlock and high congestion tolls, Pub Crawler might just be the greenest and most entertaining way to experience the old worldâ€s foremost city."
