I thought he quit drinking? Seriously, didn’t he write a book about healthy living through spirituality or some 12 step stuff?
I found two cringeworthy books of his:

https://www.amazon.com/Second-Mountain-David-Brooks/dp/0812993268
Somehow I don’t think he recommended drinking heavily at airports.
Lol.
