How Much Does Hillary Clinton Drink?

By Kyle Smith

May 1, 2018 3:02 PM

Amy Chozick probably knows, but she isn’t telling.

When the author of a book on the Hillary Clinton campaigns admits to breaking down in tears as Clinton’s defeat registered, you have to read between the lines to guess just how flawed Clinton is. Unflattering details come up, but because they’re being delivered by a friendly source, they’re not dwelt upon at great length.

One intriguing aspect of Amy Chozick’s reporting in Chasing Hillary is that Chozick wrote a story for the New York Times that never ran that celebrated Clinton’s convivial spirit (or, if you like, her boozing). After Clinton’s certain victory, the Times was prepared to run a full slate of stories exploring various aspects of its darling. In contrast, reports Chozick, as Donald Trump’s victory became increasingly probable on Election Night, an editor in the newsroom was heard to shout, “We got nothing,” meaning no stories prepared for the eventuality of Trump’s victory.

Scrambling, the Times repurposed a story that was intended to describe “white patrons at a dive bar in a Pennsylvania steel town ‘crying in their beers’ after Trump lost,” in Chozick’s words. The paper churned it into a tale of Trump’s unexpected triumph. It was pulled together so hastily that it was sent out into the world with the wrong bylines: Michael Barbaro and Matt Flegenheimer wrote it, but it was credited to Patrick Healy and Jonathan Martin, according to Chozick.

“the booziest president since FDR” ........"

What was LBJ?

Some sort of piker?

He traveled with a CASE of Cutty Sark on AF1.

Now that's a drinker.

BTW, I had no idea FDR was considered "boozy".

Hopefully at least eight glasses a day of water or she might experience dehydration.

Exactly, Sarah Barracuda!

She was drunk and hysterical on election night, screaming and sobbing on the phone for hours with Linda Bloodworth Thomason. She specifically blamed Comey and Obama for her loss as she blubbered and yelled all night. They couldn’t get her sobered up and cleaned up for her concession speech until almost lunch time the following day.

He did end prohibition.

And maybe more than that if you can believe what you read on the Internet:

“Many people—and this is recorded—say ‘the president made the worst martinis I’ve ever tasted,’” Roosevelt’s grandson Curtis told the History Channel in 2005. And plenty of people had a chance to try them; during the war, Roosevelt opened his liquor cabinet for guests nearly every night. But his booziest affair probably occurred when he pulled out all the stops and threw a toga party for his 52nd birthday. Responding to conservatives who called him a dictator, Roosevelt wore a laurel crown. Afterward, a speechwriter lightheartedly addressed Roosevelt as “Dear Caesar” in his letters. The president eventually asked him to stop, according to historian Conrad Black, “fearing the press might get hold of such a letter and misconstrue it.”

Why do they insist on catching her. Why not let her slide out of the grasp and whoosh, problem over.

I don’t know how much she drinks, but I know I would be drinking a lot more if she had won!

I still want to hear about the reports of her trashing her room on election night because she was angry and drunk. Could not even make the concession call.

Damn Right She Was! There is no other believable reason on earth that she couldn’t do that.
