But in fairness, the weight of knowing that he soon in all likelihood will be the next SoH probably sunk in. Alcohol just primed the pump on the emotions.

I could care less if he was drunk or not; I can't much blame him for wanting a snort or two after the intensity of the last few months. I'm much more concerned with his policies.
