I hope the beer summit doesn't lead to any problem drinking in the whitehouse. I believe if you

[CK_John]

have a problem with alcohol the best way to handle it is to abstain.

[monmouth]

1. Care to explain the OP? I'm not aware of any "problem drinking" in

the WH.

[CK_John]

3. In his book he said he had problem in his youth. n/t

[Mrs. Overall]

6. Your "concern" is beyond stupid.

[alcibiades_mystery]

14. CK_John is a PUMA

That's all the explanation you need for this nonsense.

16. I think this is what he is referring. Still very dumb to confuse a few too many drinks as a student

and being an alcoholic, a very serious disease.

8. I hope the beer summit doesn't lead to any idiotic posts. I believe if you have

a problem posting, the best way to handle it is to abstain.

12. LOL! nt

[Autumn]

9. Now you did it

[backscatter712]

10. Concern noted.

:eyes:

[ksoze]

11. The last Whte House had a thinking problem from "not drinking".

I'll take thinking people having a beer over sober ideologues raping the country and the world. Cheers.

[Flying Dream Blues]

13. Don't you mean posing-as-sober? Cuz unless my eyes deceive me, there were

plenty of times * was decidedly NOT sober. Same with Deadeye Dick (see: the hunting expedition).
:hi:

[Fire1]

19. Wrong. The last administration had a 'drinking' AND

'thinking' problem.

[CakeGrrl]

15. Do these things keep you awake at night?

I guess I shouldn't mention the green champagne at St. Paddy's day, and never mind the other White House functions at which glasses were raised, or it might induce retroactive hand-wringing.

:crazy:

[Aramchek]

17. you should abstain from posting flamebait, you have a habit of it

[cali]

20. ahh, he doesn't post flame bait, just completely insane shit.

[boppers]

18. See: moderation.org

I believe if you have a problem, the best way to handle it is to drink amounts that are safely moderate for your particular circumstances.

For some people, the safe, moderate, amount is zero drinks (if one drink always pushes them into a binge), for others, they're fine as long as they don't go over a certain limit, or drink at certain times.

[jesus_of_suburbia]

21. I'm pretty sure Pres Obama knows his limit. We've never seen otherwise.

[Cleita]

22. As an ex bartender, I can testify that over indulging has its

positive side in the fact that alcohol acts like truth serum at times, something Washington needs badly. I hope Obama has lots of cocktail parties and other venues where alcohol flows and senators and representatives from both sides of the aisle let their hair down and confide in each other. Let the lies be overcome with those oh truthful, foot in the mouth, moments.
