Kavanaugh 1983 Letter: We’re ‘Loud, Obnoxious Drunks’

In the letter, the Supreme Court nominee also wrote that there would be “prolific pukers” among them during Beach Week.

In a 1983 letter planning “Beach Week” festivities at a rented condo in Ocean City, Maryland, Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh described himself and his Georgetown Prep friends as “loud, obnoxious drunks.” The Federalist and The New York Times report that Kavanaugh also wrote they were “prolific pukers” and told his guests to warn the neighbors “to go about 30 miles” away. “I think we are unanimous that any girls we can beg to stay there are welcomed with open...” Kavanaugh wrote, leaving the sentence unfinished. “The danger of eviction is great and that would suck because of the money and because this week has big potential. (Interpret as wish.)” Kavanaugh also signed the letter “Bart,” which is the same name his good friend Mark Judge used in his “fictionalized” book, Wasted: Tales of a Gen X Drunk. The newspaper also spoke with classmates who recalled Kavanaugh “triumphantly” hoisting an empty keg over his head at one party during his senior year, which was reportedly part of a group effort to polish off 100 kegs by the end of the academic year. The Federalist reported on the letter before the Times published the story Tuesday evening. During last week’s public hearing on the sexual-assault allegations against Kavanaugh, the nominee downplayed his drinking, saying he liked beer but insisting he never blacked out in high school.
