This is part of a series called Presidential Free Association. I post the first word that comes to mind when I hear the name of the president, along with a brief explanation.
Rutherford B. Hayes served wine at his inaugural ball, but was upset by the drunken behavior of the guests. He and his wife Lucy, who was a strong proponent of the prohibition movement, forbade alcohol at White House parties. They used the savings gained by not purchasing alcohol to throw even more lavish parties, but mostly people just missed the drinking.
