Is Bush drinking again?

This article reports that Bush is under great stress and has resorted to drining again.
Bush, who said he quit drinking the morning after his 40th birthday, has started boozing amid the Katrina catastrophe.

Family sources have told how the 59-year-old president was caught by First Lady Laura downing a shot of booze at their family ranch in Crawford, Texas, when he learned of the hurricane disaster.

His worried wife yelled at him: "Stop, George."

Following the shocking incident, disclosed here for the first time, Laura privately warned her husband against "falling off the wagon" and vowed to travel with him more often so that she can keep an eye on Dubya, the sources add.
Of course, this report is in the National Inquirer.

Remember, though, that after they lost a libel suit to Carol Burnett for reporting that she had appeared drunk in public some 25 or so years ago, they put in place a training program for their editors and reporters and every story published is vetted by their lawyers. They have not been successfully sued since the Burnett case.
