No, drinking beer is not a problem. Excessive drinking or alcohol abuse could be a problem. That is what I simply lamented on as the last potential barrier, which POTUS diffused today. He had the same question, why no one asked K about his drinking habits during the hearing in the past 20 years. Why did they scrutinize the 16 year old party boy? Because they could not find anything damaging in his adult life as to drinking. A lot of people don't see where this was headed, they wanted to paint him as blackout drinker.
