There's George Washington's Jigger (or shot glass).

After the French Alliance in 1778, locals, dignitaries and congress members were invited out to celebrate the news, but also see a review of the troops under the rather new direction of Inspector General von Steuben. In addition to extra food, extra whiskey and rum was also distributed to the troops. Including General Washington. According to records of the Army's Chaplain, Washington took a jigger of whiskey in celebration with each of his division commanders. Of which there were eight. The chaplain writes about how happy and jovial General Washington was for the day, and that he had a bit of difficulty getting back on his horse following the celebrations.

I can't figure out the exact effects, but I would assume it does something with happiness. The only issue I could find was that jiggers are smply used to measure, I don't think they were what alcohol was drunk (drank?) from. So it could either be the jigger his whiskey was measured with, or the shot glass he drank from.
