can't remember the words exactly, but Bing sings that
when  Lincoln was told Grant was drinking on the job,
Lincoln replied "Let's get  all my generals tight!"



That is an actual event, Grant's superior, trying to get Grant in trouble  
tells lincoln that Grant was drunk during his victories and Lincoln told him 
to  
find out what he was drinking and send a barrel to his other  Generals.
