Liberals drink more alcohol than conservatives I must be an outlier.

In other words, they’re driving people to drink. I can believe that. If I weren’t so worried about having my wits about me when the S hits the F(an), I might be tempted to, myself.

Maybe liberals drink to forget. For instance, if you were Ed Schultz, wouldn’t you?

Conservatives drink more to deaden the pain as Libtard policies take effect.
I was never close to being a drunk, but I took the pledge the day BO was sworn into office because I feared becoming one.
Haven't touched a drop since.

Many conservatives are also evangelical Christians who obey the Bible proscription against being a drunkard. This doesn’t mean they don’t drink, but that they don’t drink large quantities on a regular basis.

Bob Beckel and Ed Schultz are drunk every time I see them on TV. And what about Prissy Matthews? He’s wasted.
To: Biggirl
I always assume the majority of alcohol consumption comes from women who go clubbing for their fruity drinks that have 3-5 shots of hard liquor in each drink.
I also assume that most of them are liberal so there you have it.
