So my wife has bought me a M1918 semiautomatic Browning Automatic Rifle for our anniversary.
Check sent, anticipation building....
Something that came to me the other day was trying to determine the proper alcoholic spirits to imbibe in after the first firing of this beauty. I was thinking about purely American spirits, but seeing that the BAR introduced itself timidly to the world during WWI, got most of its usage during WWII and Korea, then went out gracefully during Vietnam, a purely American liquor doesn't seem quite right. The BAR was common in the mid-war days with law enforcement and criminals alike.
What European liquors were the US troops particularly fond of during WWI and WWII (yeah, I know they'd drink anything they could get their hands on, but what was preferred?)
