Alcoholism is a dangerous condition affecting millions across the United States each and every year, from the poorest among us to even very powerful government officials. It's important to know when you have a problem so you can seek the help you need. Here are nine signs to look for when determining if you are an alcoholic:
Your sentences often don't make sense. - If you find yourself saying things like "the significance of the passage of time" or "space connects us all," you might want to seek help.
You sometimes wake up in the morning to find you posted embarrassing videos on the internet. - Drunk-posting is a sign your life is out of control.
You wake up from alcohol-induced blackouts with fragmented memories of having run for president. - If you're having vague flashes of Beyonce, Lizzo, and Mark Hamill all endorsing you for president and calling you "brat," you need help.
You make poor decisions like picking Tim Walz as your VP. - Alcoholism can inhibit our decision-making, and this can affect our lives and careers in negative ways.
You find yourself drinking during stressful times such as difficult work days, cabinet meetings, and presidential debates. - Being drunk during big career moments is a sign you are a slave to alcohol.
Your head hurts a lot in the mornings, as though you just fell out of a coconut tree. - If you find yourself saying, "Doug, get the ibuprofen" every morning, take a good, long look in the mirror.
You drink in unsafe situations such as while you're in control of a motor vehicle or while you're in control of an entire country. - Driving a car, or a country, under the influence is illegal and dangerous.
I can tell a drunk from a mile away. Maybe she just drinks at inappropriate times and slurs her speech when her eyes are glassy and half closed. Has outbursts of anger. Is promiscuous (was) Tells big whopper lies and has a very high opinion of herself coupled with low self esteem.
Double trouble; Joe doesn’t know what it’s for, either.
Joe would push it to show her how it works.
Ockham’s razor - the simplest explanation: she’s stupid.
Well as my grandad always said that he was a drunk, alkies go to meetings.
Only when I try to quit.
Aside from the humor of the post, she looked like she had a world class hangover but at the same time was speaking what she truly thought in her confused mind, which is most illuminating of what she is.
I would like to know when that first picture was taken, the second picture shows a woman who has really aged in a short time maybe due to too much alcohol and pills or worse. She really doesn’t have the ability to run for another office, certainly not anytime soon. So she may do the Richard Nixon thing, go back and run for governor of California and lose and that will be it.
Yes. Honestly give her credit, she was quite attractive back when she and Montel were seen together.
Oh boy
Im not an alcoholic
I’m training my liver for the Olympics, if they are ever held in Ireland
I just dropped in to see what dimension my dimension was in.
Mountain Dew. = Gate way drug

One can of diet Mountain Dew in the morning. No more, no less.
She made more sense the time she was drunk than all those speeches when she was sober.
She missed her calling as a stand up comedian.
It was the yellow school buses and a chat about space that finished me.
You’re good. Real good. Hacked my account and read my emails. Now I am humiliated.
You’ve got to stop using “password” as your password. 😏
Tennessee’s a bit rough on DUI - made me attend AA meetings for months after shaking out my wallet. I was SO glad to stop attending them because the horrible stories were the only thing that made me want to drink.
But I occasionally stop at an “Our House”(with trademark triangle) for a free cup of coffee if the parking is empty. I make sure a fresh set’s ready to perk before leaving.
