The youthful drinking doesn't bother me as much as his reaction on being called on it. I'm the last person given my misbehavior with alcohol and weed that can cast aspersions on Kavanaugh. I'm no paragon of virtue, but at least I can admit that I was young and stupid and while this isn't about me, this episode made me look back on some of the things I did while under the influence. Kavanaugh strikes me as someone who hasn't done that. Maybe he has and I don't think he should be expected to open a vein and bleed all over the Judiciary Committee, but a tad more contrition would have gone a long way for him.
