Much of GWBs behavior seemed suspicious. For instance, has anyone ever heard of someone choking on a pretzel sober?

And Cheney - why did it take him 12 hours after he shot a man in the face to talk to authorities? One good reason.

If I thought the truth could be known, I'd bet on Bush drinking periodically during his White House years.

And Cheney. Many people have said that the Cheney of the Bush Administration was mean, a contrast with the Cheney prior to Clinton. A natural progression of alcoholism. I suspect at least some of those "disappearances" were binge drunks.

Cheney was obviously alcoholic. He drank, drank a lot, and had had numerous heart surgeries. Alcohol attacks the heart muscle directly and is contraindicated in those cases. Alcohol is good for the arteries and veins, bad for the heart.

I'd bet on Cheney, too.
