I think you misunderstand what is meant when it is said B. is often sucking on a “joint”

I find it interesting that the Obamas flew to New York on a private jet. I didn’t think that would normally be allowed, for security reasons. But regardless of whether they used a private jet or Air Force 1, it is typical Obama extravagence. Was a pricey dinner the only purpose of jetting to New York, or was there also some governmental or Democratic Party function involved?

It’s not what one drinks or how much that matters. It’s what happens when you do that matters.

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.

Construction worker?

My ex-wife's uncle was a card carrying carpenter. Red polished off a case of beer a day, every day. When he was watching a ball game on TV his dog would fetch him a cold one from the fridge. He did fall off a roof once, he was drilling a hole with a 1/2" electric drill when the bit stuck. The drill was way geared down and it torqued him around and flipped him right off the roof before he could let go. That was his story anyway.

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.

Yeah, his blood pressure went through the roof. After a couple days in the hospital he was ok and he did stop drinking.:)

Good for him. I think more people fail than succeed. It’s nice to hear a happy ending with all the shi^#y news.
