(15,189 posts)Bush gave up drinking in the 80's all the while we have pictures of him drinking and drunk while president.

(51,076 posts)is well on his way to being drunk off his ass this very minute. Where ever he is. I'm an old drunk and I can spot one a mile away.
anyone who says he quit drinking aren't paying attention is all I can say or they want to mislead the rest of us, either way I ain't got time for them.

The Olympics wasn't their only entertainment that day.

(3,587 posts).... but really, this was in 1976, and the /only/ thing that upsets me about this is if you compare the awful treatment the current president receives (for breathing while being half black) vs to the golden passes that Bush got for the actual real atrocities he was responsible for.
I just can't hold a "drinking night" way back in 1976 (almost 40 years ago) against them today.
Sheesh, many of us have tied one on from time to time. It can happen to the best of us.
And then we had Clinton 'I didn't inhale' bs (we all knew it was bs).
I'm just trying to be Honest here.
What I can hold against Bush is the invasion of an unarmed nation (Iraq), the consequences of regime change, Abu Gharib and Torture under the American Flag, Voter suppression, Tax cuts for the rich (and consequences of that)....
Lets keep focused on what is important.
