Democrats Have a Drinking Problem (But Not in a Good Way)Swalwell's not the only one. It's time to seek help.Andrew Stiles
April 20, 2026Democrats are out of control. It's time to admit they have a problem and seek help. In recent days, several Democratic lawmakers have come under fire for excessive drinking—but not in a fun way.
Eric Swalwell, the former congressman and notorious degenerate accused of sexual assault, routinely used campaign funds to pay for alcohol. Swalwell placed more than a hundred orders on Drizly, the now-defunct alcohol delivery app, between 2020 and 2024. His prolific booze purchases accounted for almost 25 percent of Drizly payments by political campaigns, campaign committees, and PACs during that period, according to federal election records.
Swalwell was a founding member of the "Cool Kids Clique," a group of Democratic lawmakers known for their heavy drinking and shameless philandering. One of the cool kids, Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D., Calif.), was seen making out with a much younger Democratic aide outside a party Swalwell hosted in 2023. Gomez, 51, was married with a small child at the time. Swalwell, 45, has three children and has been married to his second wife since 2016. Another member of the clique, Sen. Ruben Gallego (D., Ariz.), served his first wife with divorce papers in 2016 when she was nine months pregnant.
Democrats at the state level are also disgracing themselves with public drunkenness. Joe Fitzgibbon, the majority leader of the Washington state House of Representatives, had to apologize in February after slurring his words and falling asleep during an appropriations committee hearing. "This was a painful and embarrassing lesson, one I won't forget," Fitzgibbon said.
