Definitely W. and Obama if I want to have just plain ole fun. JFK and Clinton if I want to party to death. Teddy and FDR if I want to have an experience to remember. Nixon and Buchanan for shyts and giggles.

Honestly, I think the only President that I wouldn't drink with is Silent Cal...didn't seem like the kind of guy to make good company.

George Washington and Thomas Jefferson would probably have a few bottles of the good stuff around. Ulysses Grant could be fun too, though I've also heard that he was simply a huge light-weight. Teddy Roosevelt was said to be a man whose personality had to be 'wrung from your cloths'.

Hack status ... Clinton, maybe.

I'd pick W., Lincoln, Clinton, Truman, Harding (how has NO ONE said this yet?!), JFK and Teddy Roosevelt.

On a related note, I wonder how many Presidents were full-blown alcoholics? Franklin Pierce, Andrew Johnson and Ulysses Grant first come to mind, but I'm sure more exist.

The best drinking related Presidential anecdote I know (apart from John Adams getting wasted every day before breakfast post-presidency and "admiring his manure pile", which is more sad than anything else) involves Grover Cleveland. Supposedly, in some minor race before he was a big name he and his opponent agreed to cap their beer consumption to three or four a day. Apparently , even this was too onerous, so they decided to just forget about even pretending to be sober.

During their Presidency or at all? W was a raging alcoholic in his younger years.

If I want to not get kicked my teeth in, Ronald Reagan.

If I felt masochistic, Woodrow Wilson. I wouldn't get along with him well.

Of the GOP, Nixon and Reagan, actually, although I would want to talk about everything but politics! Nixon was an avid sports fan, and I'd enjoy some of Reagan's Hollywood stories, I'm sure.

Of the Democrats, definitely Clinton and JFK. That would be most enjoyable.

Oh, yeah. Those saying Dubya should be warned to keep the hell out of his car, unless you want him to become a GOP version of Teddy Kennedy.

Er, no. Most people will objectively admit that Obama is the coolest president.

You insinuated that the normal answer to this question would be to pick the two most recent Democratic Presidents.  Objectively, I think most people would say there are ones that would be more fun.

Since I'm religiously a teetotaller, probably Hayes (given his wife never served alcohol at parties), or one of those Roaring Twenties Presidents with Prohibition XD

Now if I did drink,probably LBJ or FDR.
