Which country drinks the most beer?  America?  Germany?  No and no.  The U.S.A. is #6 and Germany is #3.

These days, ordering a rum drink is as common as ordering a Bud Light.  You may think that’s only a recent phenomenon, but The Bachelor Guy takes us back in the early days of America, back when Paul Revere was swigging rum before he did his famous ride. Back in the days when Benjamin Franklin was writing poems about rum. Or even just a half century ago, when JFK was sipping a daiquiri watching election results.

Check out even more examples of rum in our history, along with a couple cool recipes at The Bachelor Guy.
