Say No To This - Hamilton Should've Taken a Break

Hamilton should've taken that break he was offered a bunch of times. In Say No To This, Hamilton states that he needed a break. The song before this was Take a Break, in which both Eliza and Angelica offered him a trip to upstate New York to stay with Philip Schuyler (their father). They both told him to "take a break" multiple times, all but one of them referring to the trip (the only one that was not referring to the trip was when Eliza told Hamilton to take a break to listen to Philip Hamilton's poem). However, in Say No To This, Hamilton states that "I hadn't slept in a week. I was weak, I was awake. You'd never seen a b*stard orphan more in need of a break." Now, you can claim that he needed the break since he had overworked himself due to the fact that Eliza hadn't been around to relieve his stress, but that doesn't change the fact that he screwed up his entire life because he didn't go on vacation with his family...

The Story of Tonight (Reprise) - Hamilton's Drunkenness

Is Hamilton drunk during The Story of Tonight (Reprise)? Is he not? The Story of Tonight (Reprise) comes after Satisfied, in which Angelica gives the traditional Maid of Honor toast, which becomes a soliloquy and then a memory, and switches between the two. It appears that in The Story of Tonight (Reprise), Hamilton is drunk (along with Laurens, Lafayette, and Mulligan). This is evident due to his drunken "Ho!" which is exclaimed with one of his friends.  As soon as Burr walks in, Hamilton seems much less drunk and actually serious, maybe even respectful for asking his friends to leave for making Burr uncomfortable. Hamilton is serious as he converses with Burr. Burr confides in Hamilton about Theodosia, and Hamilton encourages Burr to go after her: "If you love this woman, go get her! What are you waiting for?" But does not appear drunk or trying to act sober. He sounds casual, like talking with a friend. But he was drunk before...where's the hangover?

Aaron Burr, Sir - Does Mulligan Screw Horses???

"Lock up your daughters and horses, of course, it's hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets!" Does Mulligan f*ck horses?!?! In Aaron Burr, Sir, after Hamilton and Burr converse (which consists of each finding out that the other is an orphan, Burr telling Hamilton to "talk less, smile more", and that "fools who run their mouths off wind up dead"), John Laurens, Marquis de Lafayette, and Hercules Mulligan each get a verse to introduce themselves. John Laurens' Verse: "I'm John Laurens in the place to be! Two pints of Sam Adams, but I'm working on three, ha! Those redcoats don't want it with me, 'cuz I will pop-chicka-pop these cops 'til I'm free!" Marquis de Lafayette's Verse: "Oui, oui, mon ami, je m'appelle Lafayette. The Lancelot of the revolutionary set! I came from afar just to say 'bonsoir'. Tell the king 'casse toi!' Who's the best? C'est moi!" ...
