Washington DC, May 2 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Rep. Patrick Kennedy downed 6 vodka shots at the Capital Lounge. When he entered the bar with his friends, then he was already drunk. He straightaway went for vodka shots and downed 6 in a row. He wanted more, but the bar refused to serve him any more.
The son of the late Ted Kennedy had taken part in a charity event in the day, and there he had also talked about his substance abuse history. Later at the Capitol Lounge, he said that the current President of the United States – Barack Obama was the ‘best President ever’. During the start of the drinking session, his friends accompanied him, but they stopped taking shots after some time. But Patrick carried on and after his 6th shot, he ordered more, but the bartender refused to serve him.
Patrick Kennedy has been in the limelight, but sadly for all the wrong reasons. Political analysts say that he is treading the wrong path and such drinking binges could be dangerous to his health and political career as well.
He has even been to rehab in the past and he said that, “I have always said that recovery is a life-long process and that I will do whatever it takes to preserve my health. In consultation with my doctor, I have decided to temporarily step away from my normal routine to ensure that I am being as vigilant as possible in my recovery.”
