"Every time a liberal cries I drink a 12 year old Scotch."
This one's just a bit older...

Donald Trump is responsible for all manner of things, particularly if you ask anyone at MSNBC, CNN, the New York Times or the Washington Post. He’s caused unrest around the world using nothing more than tweets, sparked riots in the streets and I’m pretty sure at least a couple of people have blamed him for global warming. But perhaps his greatest trick of all has been to increase the rates of alcohol consumption in America. Or at least that’s the opinion of WaPo columnist Kathleen Parker.
Amid hurricanes, a vanished journalist, the recent Supreme Court hearings, midterms and “mobs,” it is little wonder that Americans are drinking more than ever.
Factually, this is so. More than 70 percent of Americans imbibe each year, and about 40 percent drink excessively, according to two separate studies last year. A comparison to 2014 data showed a 10 percent increase in the number of heavy drinkers.
I mention these sotted stats for context. Lately, at least from my perch on the porch, the evening cocktail has become less an aperitif than a medicinal slug made necessary by the alternative of ripping off my face. To bear witness to These Times In Which We Live is to go insane, join a cult or pour your favorite poison.
Parker goes on from there to cite a number of horrible things about the world today, spending most of her time talking about Kanye West’s recent appearance in the Oval Office. All of this is supposedly to blame for a rise in American drinking habits.
Let’s put the snark aside and say that this is true. If so, Trump can chalk that up as one more win.

Tax cuts = more beer money.

Drinking toasts to the President and celebrating our good fortune!
During the Kavanaugh hearings I knew that I would need and attitude adjustment but I don’t blame him or President Trump. I blame the American female supremacists. Who would want to live with somebody that believes that all men are sexual predators? Better to live alone than to live with somebody like that.
Wow. What’s a bottle of that worth? Probably have to go pick it up in Scotland...
Perhaps, Kathleen can do a field survey among journalists. Will the tendency toward alcohol consumption differ from the general population or DC cohort?
I beg to differ.We are not drinking more...course we are not drinking less either.
*hic*
The real issue libs drink when they are depressed a lot of depressed libs out there
“Clink!”
To the President, FRiend! Here’s how!
It is Kavanaugh’s fault. He likes to drink beer.
Hold Muh Beer! Like drinking it is a bad thing.
I will drink my beer and toast MAGA and the left can go drink the Jim Jones juice.
You can upset a liberal by pairing a good beer with red meat.
LOL - great line.
Red meat and red wine at our place. At this very minute. Yum
I saw a poll and/or a study which stated that men are dating less and are much more wary about getting married. A direct result of the last 50 years of Feminism.
Women have now been so conditioned to beat men down and denigrate them that this is the result. So what happens, no men want to go out with women like this and now they are bitter and harvesting what they sowed.
There are a lot men out there, I am one of them, looking for women from another era, say pre and post war W.W. II, and they don’t exist anymore.
The WaPo should know that I’m drinking more, because I got money back from lower taxes and I can drink more. The Washington Post drives me to drink...
Amazing how the “Sex! Drugs! Rock ‘n’ Roll!” Libs have become a bunch of dour, intolerant Quakers since Trump became President.
Their ridiculous hypocrisy is almost unprecedented.
