Listen....OooooAhhhhOoooo....do you want to know a secret?

Just a little gossip to pass on. A friend of a friend told me that a couple who are good friends (wealthy, well-heeled) were out to dinner at a local Austin, Tx. restaurant where Barbara Bush was dining with friends.
It was a little cramped due to all the secret service personnel, but they observed that as Barb's dinner progressed so did her drinking (wine). The couple said they were shocked and a bit repulsed by how much she put away and how drunk she got. Toward the end of their evening Barbara even started drinking the wine on the table that was left by her guests who had already left the restaurant. I don't know if this is typical or unusual behavior....but there must be a LOT to drown out.
