Flashback: MICHELLE OBAMA BOOZE BINGES (June 24, 2009)
National Enquirer ^ | June 24, 2009 | National Enquirer

Michelle Obama - cracking under the pressure of being First Lady - is drinking way more than she should, friends fear.

Longtime pals have been keeping a close eye on her White House booze intake for months, sources told The ENQUIRER, and her husband President Barack Obama even stepped in when she recently consumed too much alcohol.

"When Barack saw Michelle drink more than she should at a recent dinner, he hit the roof. He told her, 'This is NOT going to turn into a problem!'" a close source told The ENQUIRER.

"Barack is overly sensitive to the issue because of his own past drinking and substance abuse problems.

My White House source, the one who came to this country in the trunk of his cousin’s Chevy, says the booze is only a problem when there is too much cocaine around. It seems Michelle is disgusted by Obama’s frequent peccadilloes with gay males on the White House staff. The booze and drugs help take the edge off, and enable her to pose as a good example for black children.

I know this is the Enquirer, but it’s great to see the Teflon peeled.

Actually, the National Enquirer has pursued lots of stories the failed main stream "news" media have conspired to ignore.

Is that a food/crumb catcher on the front of her dress?

Was she drunk before she got dressed or after?

I hope she doesn’t have more than 32 ounces a day.

This is not a booze binge.

I think that depends on your definition of a booze binge. If I had "knocked back" two glasses of champagne followed by two martinis, I would not be able to walk. Honestly, I think my head would be on the table and I would be asleep. One drink is fine, two starts affecting me. For me, four glasses of alcohol is a lot; however, I would probably use the word "binge" for someone drinking a lot more than that.

"This is not a booze binge."

No it isn't. At best/worst, it means she has a low tolerance for even moderate amounts of alcohol. That might be a problem or a warning sign, but it is not a "booze binge."

Ya know, I read that article on her taking an extended vacation at Martha's Vineyard, and it just ticked me off. I believe that Laura Bush did not spend all that much time in the WH. But, she went HOME, to Texas, and spent her time there.

If Moochelle doesn't like the WH, then go home to Chicago. Why do these people never go home for anything? They have a very nice house, purchased with help from rich friends, that they could go home to. But, no, they have to hit the taxpayers for their vacations. Grifters, all of them.

The answer is yes. Most Americans consume alcohol.

that is what you meant, right?

Seriously, not even close. I’ve seen people polish of a bottle of wine and a 750mL of Jack Daniels in a day, for multiple days in a row.

I knew a guy who downed a case of beer before noon every day and then finished off a quart of whiskey(don't know the brand)between then and bed time. He was surprised when he quit cold turkey and ended up in the hospital.

Alcohol withdrawal is a nasty thing. You can actually die from it. I bet he had the shakes, sweats, anxiety, and one screwed up heartbeat.
