Did Bush drink a beer in the F911 Scene where they are playing horseshoes?

[beyurslf]

He takes a drink of something in a bottle... looks like a beer bottle. Anyone know?

[troublemaker]

1. They say that he drinks non-alcoholic beer

His campaign doesn't like even that activity being taped, though, because he drinks it with "gusto"

[fryguy]

3. non-alcoholic beer is for idiots...oh wait....

seriously though, i don't recall who said it, but with regards to non-alcoholic beers - its for people who don't want to get drunk but still want to piss alot.....



edit: don't non-alcoholic beers still have some alcohol in it - like .5% or something - or have they figured out a way to make them 100% non-alcoholic?

8. There are some (German imports) that are 100%...

but none of the domestics. They all contain 0.5% or so.

9. Non-alcoholic stuff can actually become alcoholic, according

to my brother who is in AA.

11. I thought it looked like Shiner Bock

I loooove Shiner Bock...a wonderful beer brewed in Shiner, TX (for those who don't know). Funny. I saw it, thought it was Shiner, but completely forgot that Bush supposedly doesn't drink anymore.

Bush drinking alcoholic beers wouldn't suprise me...in fact, it would explain a lot for me.

2. might be a good question for.....

MM........ tomorrow night's party.

4. yes looked that way to me to, but he was young perhaps before

the "conversion"?

[beyurslf]

5. I thought that but they were talking about his dad being

Pres and the conversion was before that

6. I totally didn't even think about that "bottle"

and it's conotation when I saw him swigging at the horseshoes on F9/11!

7. I Didn't Catch That

But I did catch this...from a wedding of republitroid friends in 1992...and he's supposedly been on the wagon since 1986.

10. The only people who enjoy non-alcoholic beer are teetotalers

who don't want to look like party-poopers in a festive setting. Ex-alcoholics know that anything that tastes like an alcoholic drink even if it has no alcohol can cause recidivism. I have know alcoholics who won't eat anything cooked in a wine sauce because it reminds them of wine even though the alcohol has cooked off. Near beer has a small percentage of alcohol in it as well, so it's not entirely non-alcoholic and can set off an alcoholic to seek a stronger brew. I'm sure Prezident Busch is drinking the real thing.

12. He drinks Near Beer (O'Douls)

I think
