I'd rather have a politician who enjoys booze from time to time (dem or repub) than some uptight prick who can't take the time out of their day to enjoy themselves every now and again.
You cant enjoy yourself without booze and something that could impair your judgement?

A doctor is on call and could be called in to perform open heart surgery, is it ok if he has some booze while on call if though he could be called in to possibly save a persons life?

lol Who is saying anything about she cant sleep? Heck be well rested but I'd think she'd be able to wake up to handle an issue from sleep. Sleeping pills dont impair your judgement. They make you sleepy not impaired
Sleeping pills dont impair your judgement?
Really?
When did you get your PhD in pharmacology?

Generally, a doctor is on call for a specific period of time. The more ethical ones don't drink when they are OC. Do you think physicians don't drink? I work with several who do (and a couple who don't).

You can, but there's nothing wrong with enjoying booze.

No matter who you are.

And some people say being buzzed doesn't impair their judgement, yet it's still illegal to drive buzzed.

Hey I dont care how much booze she enjoys or whatever when she is no longer sec of state.

I dont care if someone drinks. That is on them, I care that our leaders that we have trusted with this land and us basically is NOT impaired while in office. At least those that are on call 247 and needs to be able to make sound judgements if called at any givin time.

If Obamas personal sec wants to drink so be it have at it. Obama, Hillary, Holder etc NONE of them needs to be drinking while holding that position.

This is my opinion, To me its no different then a heart surgeon that is on call drinking while on call. That phone can ring at any givin time and they would need to be sober and clear mind to save someones life.

That's what you think! Ask the person at the other end of the phone!
