Is Bill Clinton Becoming An Alcoholic??

One sign of someone with a major problem with alcohol is a very red nose.  Take a gander at the picture posted on the Drudge Report paying particular attention to his nose.

Oh, I dunno.

It's true that generally a rough ruddy complexion as that currently possessed by the Impeached One is a symptom of heavy drinking, but not necessarily always.  Some people are just born with that sort of complexion, or with a complexion that as one ages, develops that way.

On the flip side of the coin, the Bostonian Drunkard boasts a soft, flaccid, greasy, pale-white complexion, and there's no doubt the alcoholic credentials of the Bostonian Drunkard.

The Bostonian Drunkard betrays much in his boryborygmia, his constant involuntary flatulence--he's not anybody one would like to sit next to, on an airplane--which usually but not always is another symptom of alcoholism, although not as often as with this ruddy complexion thing.

The skumbag primitive, the IanDB1 primitive, the magnanimous non-benefactor, the inventor of that really stupid SUPPORT THE TROOPS ribbon, the rectal aperture who holds his vehicle together with Hate-filled bumper-stickers, similarly is afflicted with boryborygmia in real life, but one can't determine for sure if he's an alcoholic or not; only that one doesn't want to be downwind of him.

He has a heart problem so I would guess no.

Could also have rosacea.  It turns your skin red and there is pretty much nothing you can do about it.

Yup.  Had an uncle with the same condition.  He never drank....ever.

edit:  If you were married to Hitlery, and Chelsea was the result, wouldn't you drink...heavily?

Yep. Behind every great drunk is a woman..........or two.

W.C.Fields,T.P O'Neil,Clinton,Kennedy,Dodd and a few others boast the pimpled snozzer of the classic Gin Guzzler.
It is a symptom much like the gout of uremic poisoning of the blood . The skin color may change, taking on a pale or yellow tinge. A rash is sometimes seen, with small bumps that are red and itchy. These symptoms come from deposits of calcium in the skin .

My father has that same look. He is most certainly not a drinker. At all. While some drinkers do develop a red nose, it's not always the cause.
