Obama Doctors "Also Recommended "Moderation Of Alcohol Intake".
   
---CLIP---

His health was described as excellent and he does not have to return for another medical until 2012. Obama, who is 48, has 20-20 vision, weighs 179 llbs in his shoes and clothes, and requires little medication. Apart from the nicotine replacement, he uses a non-steroid anti-inflammatory medication associated with physical activity: he regularly plays basketball at the White House.

The doctors also recommended "moderation of alcohol intake".

3. Did the doctors recommend it specificallly to him?
   
because if the Guardian simply said that doctors recommend (to everyone) to moderate their alcohol consumption, then I don't know why The Guardian included that quote there. They better explain.

7. Well they didn't say he needs to quit drinking, so I'd say he's ok.
   
(it was probably just a reminder to keep it in check)

17. How soon we forget: Andrew Johnson took the oath as VP drunk.
   
"Almost equally memorable was the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln and Vice President Andrew Johnson in 1865. Johnson had just got through an attack of typhoid fever and, though a light drinker, he fortified himself with some brandy, chased by several slugs of whisky. When his turn came to take the oath, he stood up, weaving slightly, and made an unscheduled but extremely fiery speech ("Humble as I am, plebeian as I may be deemed, permit me in the presence of this brilliant assemblage . . ."). "Senators on the Republican side." reported the New York World, "began to hide their heads." Notables tugged at his coattails, but Johnson paid no heed. The Vice President was quite drunk."

A few drinks here and there is not a huge scandal for a President or VP.

Imagine if it had been Bush.  :-)

Nothing wrong with a few beers. But, remember, in the jug-eared muslim's world, beer comes in forty-ounce bottles.

Sorry DUmmy Purveyor, but I couldn't give two shits about how much or what zero drinks.  Do you really think conservatives are all so sanctimonious and self-righteous?  No.  That would be the nanny-progressives.

Yep, this would have been immediate evidence that President Bush is a lush, especially since it's the Guardian. The rats just being consistent in hypocrisy.

Colt 45 sounds right.  Either that or MD 20/20, NightTrain, and/or Thunderbird.

I also imagine menthol cigarettes.

Because third world peasant labor is a good thing.

He's gotta be a Kool smoker.

Edit...I just googled it, and it says that he smoked/smokes Marlboro Reds.

Well yeah, that's what he's going to claim he smokes.  He needs to smoke 20 packs a day of Camel Unfiltered.

I bet he spent at least the first 6 months in the Oval Office looking for that cigar Clinton used.
