There's a very big reason why I think she's not drunk, and for those of you who have lived with alcoholics or known any, you know exactly what I mean.
When a non-addicted person gets drunk, they might slur their words, they might talk too much, too slowly, they get gushy and over emphasize points, etc. (Kinda like half the posters here, actually, who may or may not be drinking.)
But alcoholics process alcohol differently. They've gone way beyond that simple "one too many" behavior. In fact, they usually have a very distinctive behavior change. A whole switch in their personalities. The "fun drunk" is gone.
More often than not, their behavior turns ugly, dark, even angry, argumentative, combative, and totally volatile. They contradict everything, they pick fights, even imaginary ones. They chase windmills.
Stritch is a recovering alcoholic, she's not a sorority girl at a college party. She wouldn't act the way she does in this video if she were actually drunk. Things would go a whole lot differently.
She may be drinking again, by her own admission. But I don't see a "drunk" personality in this video. I see someone losing her faculties because she's 88 years old.
