8. Trump's brother died from alcoholism.

Bartenders have said they think they served Donald some 30-odd years ago, but there doesn't seem to be much evidence that he's drinking now with the possible exception of swigging ketchup from the bottle when he's stressed and before he throws it across the room.

Besides, Trump has plenty of other addictions to take the place of alcohol, like drugs, sexual assault, and sex with women who aren't his wife.

There was a rather famous article written in the 1930s called "Dictators Don't Drink". Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini were known teetotalers.

Need more proof than that?

W was a born-ago doofus. Sobriety is often part of the deal.

We don't know 100% in either case, but I don't see a lot of reason not to take them at their word for the sake of irony.
