Was Cheney Drinking?

I have no information that Cheney had been drinking before he shot his fellow quail hunter. But questions have been raised, and Cheney's usual arrogance and refusal to be open about what he does fuels speculation.

Think about it:
Some of the questions I have seen:
Again, I am not suggesting Cheney was drunk, or even had been drinking more than "a beer" as he said he had at lunch. But given Cheney's history of secrecy, it is not unreasonable to wonder if he is telling us the whole truth.

Comments:
Then allow me to suggest it. Cheney may not have been "drunk", but I suggest he was impaired. He has been described by at least one apologist as a "master hunter". According to all of the experienced hunters who have weighed in on this, his actions in the field violated the safety rules. Consequently, one must conclude that his judgement was impaired, and alcohol seems to be the likeliest culprit.

So the gun wasn't the only thing that was loaded.
