Is George Bush Still an Alcoholic; a Secret Drinker?

Question by bud: Is George Bush still an alcoholic; a secret drinker?
Re: Article in the Guardian, UK. Similar articles are appearing in other newspapers .

“George Bush likes his sleep. While campaigning for the presidency in 2000 his prize possession was a feather pillow. On the night that Saddam Hussein was executed he went to bed at 9pm with strict orders not to be woken. When the then CIA director, George Tenet, tried to alert him to news of the first night’s bombing of Iraq he was sent away. “He is the type of person who sleeps at 9.30pm after watching the domestic news,” Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Abdullah told Okaz, a Saudi newspaper.”

Alcoholics often don’t answer the phone after a certain time of day, as well as other similar behaviors. I tried a short search to see if any other hints might be showing up on the web. Vanity Fair on his malapropisms:

Answer by TorxBit
First he was never diagnosed being an alcoholic. In his biography he notes he stopped drinking due to problems that he had due to drinking. However a diagnosis of being an alcoholic requires a doctor. So since he never was an alcoholic he can not still be one.
