Over 73 percent of Democrats would give up alcohol for the rest of their life if it meant President Trump would be impeached tomorrow, according to a survey released on Thursday by a drug and alcohol rehabilitation group.

Only 17 percent of Republicans would give up alcohol for Trump’s impeachment. The poll also found that nearly 31 percent of Republicans would give up drinking if it meant the media stopped writing negative things about President Trump.

Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) formally introduced an article of impeachment against President Trump on Wednesday, accusing the president of obstructing justice during the investigation of Russia’s 2016 election interference. It was the first time a lawmaker had offered an impeachment article against Trump.

Detox.net surveyed 1,013 active alcohol drinkers on March 14 and asked questions related to what they would be willing to sacrifice in exchange for alcohol. Forty-one percent of those surveyed identified as women, 58 percent as men and 1 percent identified as a gender not listed on the survey.

1. I can top that! I'd give up chocolate!

[FakeNoose]

5. Yes - alcohol and chocolate are not a problem

Just don't ask me to give up coffee because you won't like my answer.

[Solly Mack]

2. As long as I can keep sarcasm, I'm good.

[PoliticAverse]

3. "Social desirability bias"...

[Xipe Totec]

11. Totally agree with you 100% absolutely.

I hope that makes you like me more.

[VermontKevin]

22. Get a room, lol.

[NastyRiffraff]

4. I'll give up potato chips!

AND chocolate, AND drinking. I'd eat kale, and broccoli, and liver. (maybe not liver)

[brewens]

6. Hell, I'd start drinking again, just so I could give it up when he was taken down! n/t

[JoeOtterbein]

7. I would start drinking too! Just to celebrate!

[IronLionZion]

8. Considering that he drives me to drink, why not?

Since he's a teetotaler, it's doable. Worth it!

I can make nonalcoholic mint limeades for anyone who wants to join in.



or with fresh peaches since it's in season and he's being imPEACHed!

[JoeOtterbein]

9. Yummmmmmm

[ProfessorGAC]

28. That's Exactly Where i Went Too

Since 90% of dems are drinking because of the resident, it'd be easy to give up drinking with it going off in disgrace.

[briv1016]

10. If it just gets us president Pence or Ryan, what's the point?

Same shit different name.

[flamingdem]

12. One assumes a domino effect

the whole stinking pile will be thrown into the dumpster

[BigmanPigman]

13. Good point. It is also a reason to drink more (if you haven't already started to).

Xanax and alcohol sales have increased since Nov 8th I'd bet.

[Drunken Irishman]

18. Because I'd like to see that fuck removed and skewered.

[progressoid]

19. Worse shit IMHO

I'm worried Pence would actually work with congress and really fuck things up. We need to take back congress in 2018!!

[IronLionZion]

32. Their presidencies would be weaker after an impeachment

they would have fewer supporters. While there is some overlap, a lot of deplorables just aren't quite as enthusiastic to support a religious conservative as they are to support an asshole manly man who takes what he wants while throwing weaker people under he bus.

Pence and Ryan should be easier for us to defeat. There's only one way to find out for sure.

Ironically people had the same argument during the start of the American Revolution. Why trade 1 tyrant 2000 miles away for 2000 tyrants one mile away?

[0nirevets]

14. Too bad they won't show up to vote. Much easier.

Such BS.

[JCanete]

15. broken poll. Doesn't account for how many Democrats started drinking because Trump was elected. nt

[FakeNoose]

26. Hey that's a good point!

A toast to you my friend

[JCanete]

33. cheers!

[alcibiades_mystery]

16. I wouldn't. This, too, shall pass. But drinking is important.

Trump is garbage, and a flash in the pan.

[TeamPooka]

17. You can pry my cannabis from my cold dead hands, no matter who is POTUS.

[gldstwmn]

20. Most of us will

require a treatment program if this bullshit goes on much longer. So yeah.

[lib-ruhl]

21. DT's is nothing

compared to what I'm going through now....

[ffr]

23. For God and Country, hell yeah!

Justice will be served.

[whistler162]

24. and the other 27% are toe teatelers

errr... tea totalers

[moonscape]

25. Poll: 73% of Democrats are drinking because of Trump n/t

[KRISITNA]

27. I might even give up a limb!

[IrishEyes]

35. I would give up my middle finger.

I mainly use it to flip off the TV when Trump and his minions appear.

[B2G]

29. Easy to say.

If it was enforceable, I doubt it.

[Blue_Tires]

30. I don't drink, but I would happily give up my PS4

which has an even worse level of pathological addiction for me...

[beachbum bob]

31. makes sense as most of us didn;t drink a lot before trump was elected and drinking is the only way

to cope....

[IrishEyes]

34. I would give up drinking, coffee, red meat, soda, cigarettes...

I'm a vegetarian that doesn't drink alcohol, coffee or soda and I've never had a cigarette in my life so this wouldn't be difficult. I guess I could give up chocolate if it meant getting rid of the evil orange moron but I'm not eating kale. I have to draw the line somewhere.
