Today -100: December 9, 1910: Of Abe Slupsky, American hero

Remember Abe Slupsky? He’s won his bet by drinking 20 pints of beer a day for 30 days, earning himself $250 and a suit of clothes.

Thank god for Abe Slupsky. If not for him, my only story of the day -100 would be the record price for codfish.
