On a related note, I wonder how many Presidents were full-blown alcoholics? Franklin Pierce, Andrew Johnson and Ulysses Grant first come to mind, but I'm sure more exist.

The best drinking related Presidential anecdote I know (apart from John Adams getting wasted every day before breakfast post-presidency and "admiring his manure pile", which is more sad than anything else) involves Grover Cleveland. Supposedly, in some minor race before he was a big name he and his opponent agreed to cap their beer consumption to three or four a day. Apparently , even this was too onerous, so they decided to just forget about even pretending to be sober.

During their Presidency or at all? W was a raging alcoholic in his younger years.

Oh, yeah. Those saying Dubya should be warned to keep the hell out of his car, unless you want him to become a GOP version of Teddy Kennedy.
