What was the important life lesson Jackie taught Frank Sinatra?

Robert Waldman
Jackie: (to Playboy, 1986) "The first time Sinatra ever got loaded was with me. We went to a joint called The Harlequin and Sinatra said, 'I feel like getting smashed.' I said, 'all right.' He said, 'What's a good drink?' I said, 'You've never gotten smashed?' He said no. I said, 'Jack Daniels. That's a good way to start.' And to this day, he drinks Jack Daniels."
