  1. There’s no disorder in Keystone’s drinking, it’s a tightly managed daily schedule.

    >In a letter to Patel on Tuesday, Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee, led by Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), said he should take the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, a short questionnaire used to screen for harmful or hazardous alcohol use.

    He’d just lie. What’s the point?

    What do you do after that?

  3. I love how he always looks like he prepared by studying the absolute wrong materials and he just found out.

  4. I’ve been sober for 32 months and these test are super easy to pass. He has to be in a place to want help to engage in good faith. Outside of that the guy is actively drinking too much and the signs are obvious.

  5. He doesn’t need to be an alcoholic for his long-term alcohol consumption to show up on a blood test that pertains to liver function.

    This is gonna put a snag in his defense against The Atlantic’s claims of alcoholism. Love it.

  7. “How often do you have 6 or more drinks on one occasion?”
    Dude circles “zero” with his crayon and says “see?! Told ya”

    Got the Commander in Chief taking quarterly(?)/semi-annually(?) cognitive tests, and now the Director of the FBI being subject to an alcohol disorder screen.

    What’s next..Secretary of Defense alcohol/substance use disorder screens?

  9. how about we put chemical monitors in the waste sewers, and we’ll just see how fucked up the administrative class really are.

  10. Didn’t know there was even a test like this. Maybe everyone in an appointed position should take this test.

    My mother who got arrested for drunk driving four times in three years can pass this test. We need something better.

    I don’t understand, the man is on camera several times downing beers like a fraternity president

  13. Does anyone think Patel will do anything that might jeopardize his position? He and whisky Pete will never take any tests or admit any wrongdoing unless they are forced to. The liquor cabinet is ride or die here.

    Reporters and Congress members should show up at press conferences with breathalyzers and then ask him to blow.

  15. Here’s a test he can’t pass- I’ve done one. Give him a liver biopsy. Takes like 30 mins. Liver don’t lie.

    His guards already had to order a battering ram. I think we’re past needing an alcohol disorder test.

    This could be a miscalculation by democrats because it’s easy to pass the test and then he will use that passing as “proof” to MAGA that he doesn’t have a problem.

  18. Guys. Come on. Ughhh

    I am so annoyed at the dems in charge rn. What will that change? A breathalyzer on the job might prove something but that won’t happen either. Put your energy somewhere more effective!

  19. 2 drinks a week is now the standard normal amount one should consume maximum. Alcohol is a poison. It’s fun, sometimes, sometimes not, but the standards of 10 -14 for a man and 6-8 for a woman (something like that) has changed to 2. That’s it. Two.
