Add in some personal anecdotes or modern - day comparisons. For example, if you're telling the story of the Roman Empire, compare their gladiator fights to modern sports events. Also, don't be afraid to exaggerate a bit. If Caesar was a great orator, say he was the greatest speaker who ever lived, like a Roman version of Martin Luther King Jr. and Winston Churchill combined. And tell the story with a sense of humor. Maybe the Roman senators were like a bunch of old fuddy - duddies getting all worked up over Caesar's popularity.
Bring props if possible. If you're talking about the Gold Rush, bring a small pouch of 'gold' (it could be fool's gold or just something shiny). It gives people something to look at and interact with. Also, vary your voice. Make it deep when you're talking about a serious character and high - pitched when you're imitating a comical one. This makes the story much more engaging and memorable, especially in the context of drunk history where things are a bit more laid - back and fun.
Use lots of gestures. When you're telling a story about, say, Alexander the Great, wave your arms around like he's leading his troops into battle. It makes the story more vivid.
One good story could be about Benjamin Franklin. He was not only a great inventor and statesman but also had quite the social life. He loved to go to taverns and meet with people from all walks of life. There are tales of his witty conversations and how he used his charm to influence politics even in those casual settings. It's a story full of humor, intelligence, and historical significance that would be great for drunk history.
One could tell the story of how Benjamin Franklin was not only a great statesman but also a bit of a rogue in his personal life. He loved to socialize and was known for his witty remarks at taverns.

Vincent van Gogh. His life was full of passion and struggle. He painted some of the most iconic paintings while in a state of emotional turmoil. You could tell about his time in Arles, France, where he created many masterpieces. His relationship with Paul Gauguin, which ended in a rather dramatic way.
