Kavanaugh claimed he didn't drink on weeknights but an entry on his calendar for Thursday July 1 states, “Go to Timmy’s for Skis w/ Judge, Tom, Pj, Bernie, Squi.” Kavanaugh clarified to Sen. Booker that “Skis” referred to beer. Was Kavanaugh's original statement truthful? (10/10)

1. Timmie Gaudette, 507 Azalea, Rockville, MD. July 1, 1982 looks like that is where the assault

Happened.

2. When I was in college, Thursday night was the biggest drinking night

Many students avoided courses with Friday classes, or just skipped them.

Same thing when I was an emt years later. Many alcohol-related calls Thursday nights at the local college.

8. Yep. Thursday Night Drinking Club is what it was called when I was in college nt

10. Plus, this was the Thursday before the July 4th weekend *** In DC or any government employee town,

the weekend started Thursday afternoon

3. Does he mean brewskis?

An odd term for beer back then.

4. That's right. "Skis." Short for "Brewskis."

When I was young, people spoke of "brewskis" which meant beer, and "pizza" and "Mountain Dew." When my kids were young, in the nineties, they spoke of "getting some "-za" (for pizza) and "-Dew" (for Mountain Dew). I can easily see how "brewskis" would have devolved into "-skis" by the eighties.

5. Thursday, July 1 was before the Independence Day long weekend. School out early??

Just considering the possibility Thursday night was effectively beginning of a 4 day school holiday, no classes Friday?

6. Could be long holiday weekend

7. Can we say we caught that first?

9. Senator Whitehouse pointed all this out in the chamber to no avail
