I posted this here because it could be fake.

Or it could be a troll.

Or maybe Hegseth is a raging alcoholic and he needed a slug to calm his nerves.

Winston Churchill was a raging alcoholic, and he held the Germans at bay.

That said, this guy swore he wouldn't drink for the duration of this role.

If this story is true, I say fire him.
 
I tend toward the position that being a sot and a lech don’t matter as much as him being a mediocre man and him not having non negotiable principles.
 
I think this is rigged...even he isn't that stupid

Fake. Not even Hegseth is that stupid.
Sorry, but just no.
 
The video in the OP is not faked. I'm not sure if there is alcohol in that glass but it sure looks like he wishes there was some in there. I mentioned the same in another thread. The licking of the lips, the hunch over the glass and furtive sip are suspicious.

 
I think it is water, but it appears to be darker because of his suit and orange (MAGA makeup) skin.

Water or vodka, who knows?

Those short sips are a bit weird. There is another video floating around where he sips like that 5 times, just quick sips. Maybe he only needs to moisten his mouth?
 
He should be expected to do a breathalyser every day to prove he isn't drinking.
 
Drunk or sober, he was a terrible pick and may be the worst Sec. Def. ever.

Hes drinking water. That is obvious to anyone not in stage 4 TDS

I agree actually. That is why I placed it in the CT forum, because social media was all over it when I posted.

I used to drink hard liquor, and I would sip like he does. But he can also be seen to swish the liquid around in his mouth which I don't think many people would do with booze. I know I wouldn't.
