I don't know if she really has a drinking "problem." I will say that I have a lot of sympathy for people who suffer from alcoholism or alcohol dependency.
It is not a fate I wish on anyone - even her.
Having said that, and given my experiences, I will lend my opinion about whether there are any warning signs.
Let's start with the $240,000 "date night" in NYC and examine the photographs below. I read somewhere that she was drinking on the aircraft into New York, and drank at the restaurant as well.
Here she arriving. Notice the eyes.
In my opinion, she is tanked. Wasted. $%&* faced.
We also have the Drudge articles about the conga lines, heavy drinking, and the late night parties that the Bush White House wouldn't have dreamed of putting on. GW Bush was famous being being in bed by 10:00 pm tops.
Her disposition could be manifest as alcoholism, or any number of things. I am not a doctor or a counselor. But, being hungover puts you in a bad mood.
One other thing.
A news story said they flew in on a "private jet." That is 100% erroneous.
Just by the paint scheme and stripes, I can tell that is a C-20 model (probably the G or H model). They are based out of Andrews AFB and the 89th Airlift Wing flies them. Her greeters in NY are Air Force, the one on the far right a Staff Sgt and the one in front an officer.
I also know that they serve whatever alcoholic drink you want on them.

I don’t see anything wrong with that. If I was freeloading off of the USA I would be partying every night also!
