John McCain once took on Hillary Clinton in a drinking contest. It was at a restaurant in Estonia in 2004, during a congressional tour.

Man, I am having an AWESOME time these days.
Talk to me during the Obama years and I would be in this place. I know the enemy is doubling down on their attacks. They wouldn’t be if they were winning the war.
In fact, I’m spending my “obama savings” (The stuff I socked away in preparation of Obama totally ruining the country) and using it to travel this year. I’m touring the country !
President Trump doesn’t drink
Not surprised that Hillary won the vodka shots contest.
I love that joke.
There are more fun vices than drinking. I agree with trump there.
