I can go several weeks without drinking and not miss the drink. I can predict the effects of alcohol on me, and I don't want to get drunk. I don't get drunk. One drink  is enough. My second drink is often water. I drink more herbal tea than alcoholic beverages. (I am simply surprised that people don't have mixed drinks with herbal tea... rooibos with vodka, anyone? Maybe I could be an innovative bartender.

The beer and wine that I enjoy on occasion is simply to good to get drunk on. Problem drinkers don't care how much they spend on intoxicating liquors so long as they get an alcoholic haze quickly. Are they unable to deal with reality?

Drunkenness on the job, where it happens, is a big problem. Whether the drunk operates a machine, does medicine, or practices law in any form (including as judge), intoxication gets bad results. At the least, drunkenness numbs  inhibitions and dissolves a conscience. We all know what a BAX higher than about 0.05 can do for someone driving a car. Most employers preclude drinking on the job, and for good reason.

We will see what the FBI investigation finds out. The FBI is very good at checking out stories of personal misconduct, clearing innocent people and exposing culpable people to the legal process.

Brett Kavanaugh sounds like an alcoholic. I know the language of alcoholics at various levels of occupational and educational success. Yes, people can deal with alcoholism, and AA is very good. Mercifully I have not needed AA.
He doesn't seem like an alcoholic to me. I'm pretty familiar with the signs and knowledgeable about matters pertaining to their way of life as well.
