South Carolina Governor Coleman Blease hated soda which was a rather new drink in his time. He was so passionate about it that he stated his disgust in his inaugural address in 1911 where he called drinks like Coca-Cola and Pepsi "evil" and begged people to drink beer instead.
And now we know how very bad these drinks are for our health! Cool fact, Adam :)
