Following a President’s Example: Why Cutting Alcohol Could Be the Best Decision for Your Health 

United States: While Donald Trump is known for eating a lot of fast food, he doesn’t drink alcohol at all. In fact, he’s never drunk in his life! Trump has always chosen to stay away from alcohol, even though many people think his behavior might suggest otherwise. 

Speaking to the National Faith Advisory Board at the Inaugural National Faith Summit that occurred in Powder Springs, Trump said: “I had a brother who was a great guy but he had a drinking problem.” It is really difficult to treat this illness and I have never drunk any glass of wine because of him. 

Me personally I believe I have the kind of personality where I would probably have a problem with cheating. Fred Trump, Jr., who was eight years senior to Trump, died from an alcohol produced heart attack at the young age of 42.

As reported by the HealthDigest, Not only was Trump aware of the impact that alcohol had on this brother from early age and the end that it brought, but he also said to People in 2015 that Fred, Jr. had warned him against drinking.  

Now Trump said: “He would tell me, ‘Don’t drink ever,’ he understood the problem that he had and that it was a very hard problem.” So Trump never drank. Which, scientifically, given how alcohol functions, may be the most strategic move Trump has ever made in his lifetime. 

Alcohol use disorders affect a very large population of people in the society today. Indeed, not simply within the America, and it is done all over the world. To date, 400 million people suffer from AUD globally, of which 3.7% need alcohol to function. Consequently, Fred, Jr. was definitely not the ONLY person experiencing these problems.

However, there can be the possibility, as much as it may not be true by all estimates that none of Donald Trump’s parents or his other siblings had the same drinking problems as Fred Trump, Jr., somewhere down the family line there must be a first cousin, a second cousin who perhaps had a disorder or dependency. The reason for this being that genes can affect and possibly even contribute to why a person might develop an AUD.
