re: Top 5 "I want to go drinking with this person" list.

Trump's brother was an alcoholic, he claims that's why he doesn't drink. His brother turned to drinking (well more of it) because of the relationship between him and his dad. His dad wanted him (Fred) to take over the family business, but Fred wanted to be a pilot, which he became. The daddy told him he was nothing but a glorified bus driver and was an embarrassment.

All true, i had heard that years ago.. As for Biden, i think he comes from a long line of alcoholics as well, which is why he’s never had a drink… I actually find that aspect of their personalities fascinating ; as a guy from South Louisiana , i think it’s amazing that you can make it to 80 yrs old without ever tasting alcohol, esp in Biden’s case since he’s Irish.. im not sure of Trump’s ethnicity .. Im actually a little jealous, i kinda wish id never tried alcohol .


Also Reagan and Clinton were both known as non drinkers, but both have said that they drank some when they were younger, but were always very light, very occasional drinkers and then gave it up entirely because , again, they both had notorious alcoholic fathers/stepfathers .
