The interesting thing is that when Bush said he had a drinking problem, he

didn't get therapy, and he apparently did not connect with a support
group, such as AA. Instead, he found Jesus or some such nonsense.

That may be what you are "supposed to do", but whatever keeps you sober
works. Have you noticed how stress ages a President? Carter is probably
the most obvious example. He went in youthful with a bounce to his step.
Four years later, he was old, gray, and wrinkled. I didn't notice much
aging on Bush his first four years, but look at him now. It's very
clearly starting to show. I don't like the SOB, but I do hope we are
talking rumors with no basis in fact.
