Answer to last week's question:  Abraham Lincoln 

Not only was Abraham Lincoln an accomplished wrestler, a lawyer, and the only former President to hold a patent, he is also the only licensed bartender to become President of the United States. Long before his political career, Lincoln went into business with an old military friend of his, William F. Berry. “Berry and Lincoln” was their bar and store in New Salem, Illinois. The pair bought their liquor license in March 1833 for a whopping $7, and began selling whiskey, wine, brandy, and more. Their selection included half pints of 12-cent apple brandy, 18.75-cent peach brandy, and 25-cent French brandy. Guests could also have a meal at the tavern for a quarter, or lodge at the premises for half a quarter. Unfortunately, the business soon went into debt, primarily because Berry was drinking too many of its products. Lincoln sold his interest in the store to Berry in April 1833, and a month later became the Postmaster of New Salem.

Hello Suzy and thanks for posting

   I can see Amelia now with a set of jumper cables at 5,000 feet shocking herself Could explain why she liked flying alone.    Yet I do know the answer and I'll be direct and not waste your time with my reasoning behind my answer.  So to be direct and to the point and I have no idea why I know this.  I've could have read it in a book or saw it in a documentary about her maybe I learned about it in history class or maybe playing bar trivia  Just couldn't tell you how I know so I'll keep my answer short  #5 All the Above    No #3   Smelling Salts
