He looks ten years older than he actually is. His nose without makeup shows a mess of broken corpuscles. He has almost no long term friends. He comes from a family where every other member has had severe drinking problems and he still drinks. Anyone who comes from a family with alcoholics knows what that means. You can judge it any way you like but I would guess that you haven’t been around alcoholics much if you can’t see it.

Hahaha. I’m a physician and MRO. You carry the gene, as I suppose Trump does too, and don’t drink you don’t become alcoholic.

I can’t imagine that he could hide the fact that he drinks even socially.

Any DUIs? No.

The issues with Cruz’s family past are well known. One can’t indict based on issues one had in one’s family. There are plenty of people who grew up in broken homes, homes with all types of abuse not just alcohol abuse who never became alcoholics or other abusers themselves.

I read/viewed these links. All they show is what was known already, that Cruz’s one sister died tragically from substance abuse (an issue he’s shared publicly) and that there is some unsubstantiated scandalous rumor about his other sister and yes about him being drunk onstage. These are both unsubstantiated (unless you have more proof than the defensive “search it yourself”, which is no “evidence” at all). The YouTube video doesn’t show him drunk on stage, it shows Cruz being asked a question about what kind of cocktail he likes. He answers he’s a “scotch man”. So what?

You know, again, it’s possible for someone to grow up in a household where the parents abused alcohol and not be an alcoholic themselves. If you dispute that you’re no better than the “gay gene” advocates.

I’m not going to argue with you, especially since all anyone has to do is examine the links you provided to see I’m right, so I’ll rest with that and this: Calumny is a sin.

Just sayin.
