Drinking beer very much can make one an alcoholic. It can lead to addiction to cause you to need rehab or lead to other things. Should we pretend you cant get drink off beer

I am not calling Obama an alcoholic but doesnt mean he isnt either. Heck I dont live with him to know that really nor do you. We do now he drinks he doesnt deny that. My whole point was that many alcoholics wont admit it till they dont have a choice or reach the bottom themselves

But back to why are we paying for their liquor is the question

Exactly.

For that matter, when a foreign ambassador or head of state visits, why do we need to pay for their dinner or lemonade? Let them make a sandwich before they come, or fill their pockets with peanuts from the airplane. Do they think we're made of money?

No, but if you weren't complaining about it when the Republicans did it and you are when the Democrats do it does mean that you are a hypocrite.

What the hell difference does it make to you, me, or anyone else if Obama drinks beer?

For a conservative you seem to have real problems understanding "None of your damn business!"
