President Donald Trump said that although Brett Kavanaugh had “difficulty” with alcohol when he was younger, it shouldn’t be held against him now. Trump is undercutting his own Supreme Court nominee’s defense against sexual assault allegations leveled against him by Christine Blasey Ford. “They drink beer and they would go crazy, they were in high school, they were 16, 17 years old. But Kavanaugh has strongly denied having a problem with alcohol, saying he just drank beer occasionally, like everyone else. The drinking age was 18 in Maryland for most of my time in high school, and was 18 in D.C. for all of my time in high school.
