Still Speaking of Bush at the G8

Bush was tossing back some (Heineken) Buckler "non-alcoholic" beer (0.5% alcohol, as opposed to the average 3-5% alcohol in American beer). My (somewhat limited but very close) experience with alcoholics drinking non-alcoholic beers is that it's probably a public ploy, but most certainly a sign of the alcoholic mind-set and addiction still being uncontrolled.

Why, if you knew you had this debilitating and serious condition, why not drink something else truly non-alcoholic? Why would you put yourself in the situation? Getting as close as you can? Proving something to yourself or others? Or simply unable to stop?

If I were a betting person, I wouldn't have any qualms about betting that George is still drinking (and/or drugging) in private. An alcoholic is an alcoholic for life. How he deals with it is what else he is.






An upset stomach crimped Bush's schedule on a busy day that took him from Germany to Poland and finally to Italy. The president stayed in bed and skipped morning sessions at the summit of world leaders in Heiligendamm, Germany, and he appeared subdued later after talks in Poland with President Lech Kaczynski.

"Still not 100 percent but better all the time," White House deputy press secretary Dana Perino said of her boss.
