This is pretty distressing for Jack Daniels and Jim Beam what with Canada cutting them off and Pete Hegseth on the wagon because of his new job. 😉

Jim Beam, at least, should have no fear. I’ve got them covered.

Hegseth only promised to stop drinking the day he was confirmed, I'm sure it was business as usual by nightfall.

You don’t really believe he’s stopped drinking, do you?

It would be dangerous for someone with that level of intake to stop abruptly without medical assistance.

I'm not sure he's capable of that, JM. Pete doesn't strike me as someone who is disciplined when it comes to his impulses.

Pete's probably moved on to Dewer's by the liter.

Nah. Popov Vodka by the liter. Alcoholics think you can’t smell it on them, but they do tend to reek as it metabolizes off them.

Vodka was my mother's hard liquor of choice, I think for just that reason.

Ditto for my late social worker husband, who discovered it after his small town doctor decided to take him off the Valium which stopped his hand tremor so he could hold a coffee cup, write, and tie his shoe; the vodka fixed him up until I found him a great neurologist in Memphis (shoutout to Dr. Tulio Bertorini).
