Former Fox News host Pete Hegseth addressed concerns over his use of alcohol in an interview with a former colleague, Megyn Kelly, pledging not to drink on the job if confirmed to oversee the vast U.S. military apparatus.

Even if that wasn’t vastly different from “staying sober” it’s still pathetic.

    As a former alcoholic, doubt. I do occasionally drink, but I have to be very, very careful because it can easily spiral to an every night thing, particularly when I’m otherwise suffering with stress and/or depression.

      And there’s no stress involved with being the Secretary of Defense of the United States.

      I wish you the best in your fight, btw.
