Drink #1
Immediately after waking up, Sir Churchill would start his work day in his bed. Still in PJ’s and surrounded by both secretaries and piles of paper, the man would work diligently with his first drink, Scotch (always Johnnie Walker) and Soda, right by his side. This drink was consumed typically at around 9 A.M. and was, to be honest, reportedly always very weak. Some called it his “mouthwash.”
Drink #2
At around 10 or 10:30, Winston would have his “top up” of another Scotch and Soda. More often than not, he was still in bed while working by this point in time.
Drink #3
Another hour later, at around 11, Winston took on his third Scotch & Soda of the day. This time, however, he’d be up and about taking care of… whatever British things needed to be taken care of. This man wasn’t one to sip on tea and munch on crumpets all day, was he?
Drink #4
By the time lunch rolled around, Winston would be ready to drink more alcohol- only this time, Scotch was off the table, and it was time for some Champagne. His favourite brand was Pol Roger. He would go through one imperial pint sized bottle during a lunch which, no doubt, came complete with mushy peas and some sort of meat.
Drink #5
Immediately after lunch, Winston would get back to work. While working, though, he chose to be accompanied by a nice glass of Cognac.
NAP
After a post-lunch cognac or two, Churchill would have a quick, one hour nap in the afternoon.
Drinks #6, 7, and 8
After his nap, Churchill would get back to work. He would work whilst drinking another Scotch & Soda every hour from around 4-7.
Drink #9
Before dinner, he would consume a nice glass of his favourite Amontillado Sherry.
Drink #10 and the nightcap
During dinner, Winston would go back to having another pint bottle of Champagne. Post-dinner, it’s back to the brandy just before bed.
