seen lots of these dry drunks in AA all the time. They are in two camps. One camp doesn't think they have a problem and are only sober because they are in AA because of a nudge from a judge, and they lash out at everyone. The other camp while they admit they have a problem they still think it is others and they lash out at everyone. Both camps are sober but the nudge from the judge camp usually drink again as soon as their legal problem fades.

Orangeman is not a dry drunk he is drinking.

We should be scared shitless that Boner stands third in line for the Presidency, we should demand that President Obama and Vice-President Biden never be in the same place, EVER.

alcoholic who is drinking, but does not. Bonehead drinks. I bet he is a functional alcoholic. But that has a downward progression .That is what he looks and sounds like, and from all reports, is.
