As Christine Blasey Ford tells it, only one person can offer eyewitness confirmation of her account of a sexual assault by Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh: Mark Judge, Kavanaughs friend and classmate at Georgetown Prep.
Ford says Judge watched Kavanaugh attack her at a high school party in the early 1980s and then literally piled on, leaping on top of her and Kavanaugh. Judge says he does not remember the party and never saw his buddy behave like that. Fords legal team has asked the Senate Judiciary Committee to compel Judge to testify.
A review of books, articles and blog posts by Judge a freelance writer who has shifted among jobs at a record store, substitute teaching, housesitting and most recently at a liquor store describes an 80s private-school party scene in which heavy drinking and sexual encounters were standard fare.
Judge wrote about the pledge he and his friends at the all-male school on Rockville Pike in North Bethesda, Md., made to drink 100 kegs of beer before graduation. On their way to that goal, there was a disastrous party at my house where the place was trashed, Judge wrote in his book God and Man at Georgetown Prep. Kavanaugh listed himself in the class yearbook as treasurer of the 100 Kegs or Bust club.
Ill be the first one to defend guys being guys, Judge wrote in a 2015 article on the website Acculturated. He described a party culture of drinking and smoking and hooking up. During senior year, Judge said he and his pals hired a stripper and bought a keg for a bachelor party they threw to honor their schools music teacher.

I like having a few beers now and then. I like the way it relaxes me. That said I don't see the appeal of getting blackout drunk. That is one sick mindset.
