I would be surprised if he wasn't any good at tapping a keg of beer.
Think of Bavarian monks what you will but you can't deny their brewing skills. "What, we aren't allowed to eat for 40 days? No problem, we just brew a beer that has the same nutritional value." ;o)
Only by proxy, and I suspect G.W. is the wrong flavour of Christian nutbag for him :)
I can't see the Ayatollahs, the Rabbi's or the Confuciounists giving him access. In fact, Catholocism is probably the only major world relgion without it's own crop of nukes.
So he's a substance abuser as well as a religous nut,
How do you get abuse from that? Brewing & consuming beer is a godly pastime, and certainly not abuse. And anyway, nuts go well with beer (although it remains to be seen whether Papa Ratzi will prove to be dry roasted or ready salted...)
The English drink too much over a short period of time (i.e. three or four hours at the pub on a Friday or Saturday night), the Germans drink more in total but spread it out evenly over the day and week. We don't binge drink, we drink all the time. ;o)
ditto- it makes no sense either- all it means is "with key", and since when has the latin gender affected the German? I think it is just a conspiracy of newspaper journalists, as no one was sure and they decided to agree on something...

if it doesn't, then I'm off to the pub for a month ;)

And they didn't just drink beer for 40 days- they prayed as well, you know
