Kavanaugh Insists He's Never Blacked Out From Drinking. Mark Judge Wrote Otherwise.

Judge Brett Kavanaugh adamantly denied that he’s ever blacked out from drinking during his sworn testimony on Thursday. But his close high school friend Mark Judge seemed to write exactly the opposite.
“I did not drink beer to the point of blacking out,” Kavanaugh declared during his opening statement about his high school drinking.
Mark Judge, his close friend, seemed to write exactly the opposite in his confessional memoir about his own drinking problems, using a thinly veiled reference to Kavanaugh in the book.
“Do you know Bart O’Kavanaugh? I heard he puked in someone’s car the other night,” Judge writes that a girl asked him.
“Yeah, he passed out on his way back from a party,” he replied.
Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) later pressed Kavanaugh on this.
