    “I’ll stop drinking if I am confirmed as Secretary of Defense” is one of the funniest things ever said in senate testimony

    EDIT: I’m paraphrasing, trying to find the actual quote

    EDIT2: turns out there were two incidents that I conflated

    In short, Hegseth did say he would stop drinking if he was confirmed as secretary of defense. […]

    He made such a promise in a December 2024 podcast interview with political commentator and journalist Megyn Kelly.

    […]

    During his Jan. 14, 2025, Senate hearing, Hegseth also said he would no longer drink if confirmed. Hawaii’s Democratic Sen. Mazie Hirono asked him: “You recently promised some of my Republican colleagues that you stopped drinking and won’t drink if confirmed. Correct?”

    Hegseth responded: “Absolutely.”

          I can guarantee that somewhere out there is an anti-woke winery for elite operators that sells the most disgusting red blend outside of a space bag.

      An secretary of defense dying from alcohol withdrawal was not on my “list of things to potentially happen.”
