Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of Getting Hammered.

I am your host, Mary Catherine Ham.

He is my co-host, Vic Mattis, of The the Washington Free Beacon, and we are your morning show for any

hour. Vic, how are you doing my buddy? Hello, Mary Catherine. I'm doing fine. My liver somehow

survived the very busy social weekend that began on Thursday when a high school buddy of mine

came down, and I wasn't sure how much time I'd have to spend with him.

And it turned out to be the whole night.

So that was interesting.

Nice.

And that was Thursday.

And then Friday and then Saturday and then Sunday.

So I am pretty pickled.

I need to do basically what Christopher Hitchens and Winston Churchill did, which is just

have the weed dram swishing around in the glass. But it's not clear how much they actually drank.

I mean, okay, fine, they drank a lot. But they always had just a little bit for the whole day.

It's like, I learned this. Just fine always. Yes, yes, that's right. Just, you know, just for show. I mean,

everywhere they went, there was, any time I ever saw Hitchens, he was always, you know,

he had just a little bit of single malt in his glass. And I learned this from the Churchill

War Room tour, which is, it's true that Winston Churchill did drink and smoke a lot,

but he often just had the cigar in

his mouth unlit.

He just wanted to chomp on it, just to have something, right?
