Benjamin Banneker lived to reach the ripe old age of 74, a long life for those times. There is a theory in some quarters that he was an alcoholic and this lead to his final illness and death. Banneker himself suggested that he should not drink so much; in fact, when he assisted in the survey of the Federal City, he indicates in his journal that he touched "nary a drop."
