Yup, classic dry drunk. Is it any wonder that so many so called "ex-addicts" become vehemently religious. I had a youth minister who was a coke-addict, been dry for a few years, and you could tell he was just dying for a hit. My buddys brother "was" an addict, he's since opened the "All Consuming Flame of God Baptist Church".

Putting down the bottle is only the first part, and arguably the easiest part, of recovery. Resolving the attitude that leads the addict to drink or use is the second, third, forth... part.

In all fairness, Clinton and JFK were both children of alcoholics which brings it own set of issues, none so destructive or reckless, in my view, as being an outright addict though.
