On the one hand: she’s probably lying.
Justice Ginsburg: I didn't pass out at the SOTU speech because I'm old, I was just drunk http://t.co/eFSZUHts8y

On the other hand, it’s kind of a badass lie. And on the gripping hand, I wouldn’t go to an Obama SotU sober, either. I had to watch most of the last SotU sober (wife got delayed getting home), and it was remarkably unpleasant. I don’t know how people who don’t drink during these things can stand it.

PS: There seems to be a general consensus on Twitter that “using alcohol to get through the SotU” is a viable life hack.
My favorite part was this….
“Justice Antonin Scalia, who was on stage with Ginsburg, joked, ‘Well, that’s the first intelligent thing you’ve done.’ “
I made a drinking game of it, and But…umm, miscalculated.
Crap. Apologies for the broken code. My coffee for an edit button.
Sorta fixed.
“I don’t know how people who don’t drink during these things can stand it.”

In my case, I don’t watch it. I get professionals, like you Moe, to give me the highlights.
Apparently, the professional consensus on this is: drink early, drink often.
yep. I change the channel anytime Obama is on the TV, otherwise I’d throw something at it
better to have people think you’re drunk than to have them find out about your visits to police drug evidence rooms….
I love everything about this story
I’m teetotal. Years ago I maxed out the useful worthwhile information I could get from analyzing a speech of Obama’s.
