My maternal grandmother suffered from form of dementia during her final days, so I'm obviously not making light of it. Saw the footage of him stumbling around the other day ..slurring words,etc....and that's consistent with just plain being drunk.


I understand that statement, and had that thought as well. Especially, since his father also suffered from alcoholism. But, being drunk can mask symptoms of someone who is suffering from dementia, or Alzheimers. Rita Hayworth is a case like that, with her getting kicked off a flight while possibly drunk. It pretty much masked what would be diagnosed in 1980 as Alzheimers. We will see in time though.
