--------------------------

There are unfortunately several glaring mistakes in this timeline.

The Sidecar was invented around 1920, definately not in the 1800's

Both the Old Fashioned, and the Mint Julep were around LONG before 1920. The 
Mint Julep belongs in the 1800-1860 slot, if not BEFORE. And a drink going by 
the "name" Old Fashioned was referenced in 1895.

Martini? 1930? I think not. This drink was common prior to prohibition, even 
before 1900.

I expect that there are several other errors in this list as well.
