Abstract
When a public figure avows that he will stop drinking, as Pete Hegseth, nominated by President-Elect Trump to head the Department of Defense, reportedly said he will do if confirmed (https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/pete-hegseth-back-scrutiny-grows-misconduct-allegations/story?id=116444894), the recovery movement squirms. Another public figure, Aaron Peskin, supervisor of San Francisco, also has a history of drinking, says he will enter treatment and has been public about the entire problem, most recently suggesting that even Trump and Putin drink when they are together. It is well known that Trump does not drink and derides alcoholism; for this reason many thought he would withdraw Hegseth's nomination. But he hasn't, and both men indicate that they will move forward.
