Is he the one that fucked everything up by switching it from 86 to 80 proof?

Yep, it is made in a dry county. I think one of the shows on History or Discovery channel had a show about it.

And Lord, we are especially thankful for nuclear power, the cleanest, safest
energy source there is. Except for solar, which is just a pipe dream

regular Jack is 86 proof, one of the last 86 proof whiskey's

In the old west, most whiskey was 114 proof or higher, if you drank too much, a bartender reduced you to the 86 proof whiskey, hence the saying being 86th!

I wonder which is correct...
"86'd
During the prohibition days there's a speakeasy at 86 Bedford St. in the Village in Manhattan. When the coppers came for a raid, the shout was your all 86'd, in other words, get oughta here. The place is still there called CHUMLEYS, if you can find the secret entrance!

Your all 86'd. Get outta here!"
