I used to be a drunk...

[Comatose Sphagetti]

Then, after I got sober, I became a Social Worker and helped drunks recover.

So I know a drunk when I see one.

Bannon is a drunk.

[dchill]

1. Oh yeah.

[Kirk Lover]

2. Agreed. I have very good that person is an alcoholic radar. That is all. n/t

[Glamrock]

3. I used to be drunk too.

Then I slept. Soon after I was drunk again....

[jberryhill]

37. Sounds like sleep is interfering with your drinking

[rzemanfl]

4. Me too and I agree. Got sober 32 years, four months and 1 day ago. n/t

[orangecrush]

13. Congratulations!

Miracles are a beautiful thing!

[Rhiannon12866]

21. Kudos from me, too!

I have 8 years, 7 months and 13 days.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

24. Seven years for me...

... keep it up!

[NRaleighLiberal]

5. I don't drink much, but Bannon makes me want to!

[irisblue]

6. That man is not Leo McGarry

even in a double fictional context.

[marble falls]

7. A serious degenerate straight scotch or bourbon drunk.

[Siwsan]

8. My description for him is that he is a crusty drunk

The man always looks like he hasn't washed in weeks.

[Kaleva]

9. Here he is in 1995

[MustLoveBeagles]

14. Wow

To say he let himself go since then is an understatement. I guess that's what non stop hate can do to a person.

[mnmoderatedem]

39. that pic is from when he was directing the failed biosphere project

very bizarre chapter.

[sarah FAILIN]

43. Still has the same jacket

He just looks horrible in it

[HopeAgain]

10. He undoubtedly suffers from rosacea

So I am reluctant to call him a drunk from appearances alone. I also know some sober slobs.

Plus, as a recovering drunk myself I don't want to give him that as an excuse for being such a horse's ass.

[Initech]

11. Bannon's face is part "I'm a huge drunk" and part "hasn't had a salad since the Nixon administration

[BlancheSplanchnik]

28. ROFLLLLLL!!!

Ya killin me!

[Initech]

36. Thank you! I'm here all week! Don't forget to tip your waitress!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

41. 😆

[orangecrush]

12. Same here!

3 years sober Nov. 21st.

The knives are being sharpened for Bannon after the Moore fiasco.

[Corvo Bianco]

15. This became quite uplifting. Well done everyone!

[uppityperson]

18. Some people just need a new hobby.

[Brother Buzz]

22. Half the lies they tell about me aren't true

[byronius]

17. Remember how the crime rate plunged when leaded gasoline was banned?

Similar drops in alcohol sales, domestic violence and auto accidents when marijuana is legalized.

I wonder how much pain in the world has come from people using alcohol to dull their pain.

Ah, humans. Takes all kinds to fuck things up.

[spooky3]

19. A reporter just told Brian Williams on MSNBC that Bannon "doesn't drink, so let's clear that up."

I'm not sure how he would know this for certain.

Another line: "Bannon looks as if he sleeps in his car." (My apologies to anyone who actually is forced to do this because of hard times.)

[Shrike47]

30. If asked, the friend would probably respond with the assurance Trump doesnt watch TV also.

[busterbrown]

23. Can't be sure..

Unless you know Bannon personally and aware of his substance abuse.. Making assumptions are of little value.

[Dopers_Greed]

25. It's possible that he doesn't drink

It's actually pure evil that's rotting him inside and out

[chwaliszewski]

26. Bannon looks like he just came off of a...

weekend bender of homemade gin and jalapeño-flavored pork rinds.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

29. Haaa!! Im laughing maybe too hard at this...

But it just cracked me up!

[H2O Man]

27. Didn't he play

Otis on the Andy Griffith Show?

[BlancheSplanchnik]

31. bwaaaHAAAAAAA!!!!!! Yassssss!

This thread is hilarious! 😆

[H2O Man]

33. That's where I

remember him from. He was much more pleasant then.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

42. yes, and couldnt do much damage, either.

Stuck inside a little tv, and all.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

32. Wanted to share this...I posted it in another thread. I think its *rather* funny. :D

Geez, if S.B. didn’t look like an alcoholic-dead-of-a-gangrenous-liver, chubby extra in a zombie movie, and wasn’t a flaming turd pinched off by a KKK Grand Dragon, he’d be cute.

[H2O Man]

34. He defines "repulsive."

[BlancheSplanchnik]

35. Defines, you mean?

Yes. “Pustulent” also comes to mind!

Oops! You already caught the typo. 😁

[Laffy Kat]

38. There was just someone on MSNBC who said Bannon did not drink.

That is really hard for me to believe.

[get the red out]

40. Agree

I am not a social worker, but I know what a person who is drinking their life away looks like personally, and Bannon is a poster-boy for that appearance. I hate him, but it is also sad, I don't wish that on anyone.

[kwassa]

44. Young Stephen Bannon

[BigDemVoter]

45. It is very obvious. . . . .

His behavior, for one, leads one to conclude that he is an untreated, self-centered alcoholic, absolutely brimming with false pride. On a more basic level, one has only to look at the nasty array of burst blood vessels on his face and nose to determine that he probably spends most of his waking moments either seeking solace in the bottle(s) or bucking up his courage with even more booze to provide the impetus for even more obnoxious behavior.
