I BLAME STEVE GREEN: WaPo columnist blames Trump for Americans drinking more. As Jazz Shaw writes:

What I find odd here is that the booze business needed any sort of a bump. Traditionally, the liquor industry has been seen as one of the most recession-proof business channels in the country, perhaps second only to the Mafia. When times are good, people drink to celebrate. When times are hard, they drink to console themselves. Or at least that’s how it’s traditionally been perceived.

So is Parker onto something? Is Trump actually driving people to drink? I’ll wait until martini time this afternoon to decide, but if he is I say good for him. And now he’s got somebody on the Supreme Court who really likes beer, so we should be in good shape from here on out.

Say, I wonder if the DNC-MSM would be writing similar headlines if Hillary won? (No, actually I don’t.)
