Rudy Giuliani Was 'Sh*t-Faced' Almost Every Night



Overstock.com founder Patrick Byrne became one of the strangest characters of the last days of the Trump administration, visiting the White House in December, dressed in jeans and a hoodie, scarfing down meatballs, and bickering with Trump’s legal team and administration officials, as he, Flynn, and Powell together pitched the then-president on their democracy-thwarting schemes. But now, with Trump’s dream of overturning the 2020 election in tatters, Byrne appears to be doing comparatively okay—and is blaming just about everyone else for President Biden’s win, turning his blog into the digital burn book of the Trump post-campaign. “Almost every evening, and many early afternoons, Rudy was shit-faced,” Byrne blogged recently. “That, and his podcasts, were the only guarantees in Rudy’s life.” (Byrne declined to comment on this story, saying he wanted to finish his blog series first.)

1. I don't think this surprises any of us who grew up with alcoholic parents

I have told my husband many times over the past few months that Rudy must be an alcoholic. When he was in the Michigan hearing, it felt particularly clear to me.

3. Lawyers and judges that know him well call him "The Tosspot of Torts" behind his back.

I think he's a maintenance drinker ie starts early and drinks at a pace throughout the course of the day and goes til he passes out or runs out. Some days he end up shitty by mid to late afternoon, but always well liquored by night.
