Bush is an alcoholic. We have the right to know if he's fallen off the wagon, as this would be incredibly serious in any job, let alone the leader of the free world, and the commander in chief during war time.

People who are alcoholic can not drink a drop!

  Why not?
  As long as they aren't in an alcohol rehab program where they are tested for alcohol or have to take a breathalyzer to start their car, anyone can drink whenever, however, and wherever they want.

    alcoholics are not supposed to drink a drop, for their own good. It doesn't matter if they are in treatment or not, once you are an alcoholic-that's what you are, if you are in recovery,which for an alcoholic, will last a lifetime, you don't drink period! You don't go into treatment centers or have a breathalyzer to start your car for a period of time-then after it's over say 'I'm not an alcoholic anymore.'

      It's not illegal or law-breaking for them to drink

        Don't be obtuse, it's obviously not about breaking the law, it's about what's best for the alcoholic and everyone surrounding him / her.

  That depends on the person.

Like half the presidents haven't been heavy drinkers? Nixon was plowed half the time. Kennedy had a recipe for frozen daiquiris taped to the wall in the WH kitchen... this is interesting though, because it's a different story for someone considered "recovering." However near beer is near beer, and virtually everything considered "facts" is generally little more than opinion. Not that they're wrong, they just aren't based in scientific fact.

Churchill drank copiously, so drinking has nothing to do with competence.

My mom was a hopeless alcoholic and that bit with "President" Bush grabbing the orchestra conductor's baton and "conducting," then kissing the female conductor on the top of her head sure seemed like he was loaded to me.
He became a Born Again Fundamentalist Christian instead of enrolling in Twelve Step programs for his alcoholism and cocaine addiction and has acted like a serious dry-drunk in public several times.
(Churchill pulled a lot of real crap we can talk about on on a nice WWII post.) Let me just say that severe alcoholics' competence rapidly degrades, their attitudes either become uncaring, depressed, or paranoid and hostile.
Impeach.

Although AA and other programs would criticize his drinking it, Bush is drinking Buckler in the picture, which is a "near beer" and non-alcoholic. I'm not a fan of the prez, by any means, but I just wanted to point that out.

Bust has been the worst president ever while sober. I hope he does start drinking again. Things might improve.

LOL. Is this all you think about? Bush, Bush, Bush, and another year and a half to go. Your obsession with Bush must be causing brain damage.

Populist and his obsession with Bush yet again, he's submitted 2291 stories, who wants to guess how many of them are anti-Bush and/or link to an article on his "political party" website?

        I say put up stories revealing Bush's malfeasance and instigating of torture, persecuting gays, his family ties to Nazis, blocking scientists, using U.S. Attournies to smear Democrats, pre-emptive strike bullsh*t and all his lies EVERY SINGLE DAY until he's impeached.
        Thanks populist.

" I thought even a sip was off limits?"
Maybe Bush shouldn't use cough syrup as well
What utter nonsense. I usually ignore stories like this, but this one cries out for a sink

  Actually, an alcoholic shouldn't ingest ANYTHING with alcohol in it. It sets off the behaviour.
  My on the wagon mother had one bite of a Gran Marnier cake and instantly started harassing the waitress in an alcoholic fashion (Mom's face changed, her tone of voice changed, she became hateful, etc.)
  Try living with a true drunk. You won't like it.

    There is no evidence that anything was set off. Indeed, I wouldn't be surprised if this photo turns out to be a PhotoShop hoax.
    In 16 months, Bush Bashers will join Clinton Haters on the ash heap of politics. Enjoy the ride while you can

C'mon! I'm the biggest Bush-hater on the planet, but this strikes me as a bit overboard. Certainly there are many substantive issues we should focus on.
On the other hand, if anyone has any photos of Bush with a shot of JD, I'm on board.
