Brett Kavanaugh’s Party Animal Days: A Look Back 35 Years

Brett Kavanaugh’s Party Animal Days: A Look Back 35 Years

There has been considerable discussion and debate about Brett Kavanaugh's partying days in high school and college, particularly his alleged status as a “party animal.” As we have seen from letters and media reports, there is evidence of his involvement in rowdy activities even as far back as his youth. However, the context and the passage of time must be considered when evaluating such behaviors.

Young Brett Kavanaugh: Evidence of Party Behavior

A letter reportedly sent by Kavanaugh during his senior year of high school to his friends while renting a condo for “Beach Week” provides insight into his past. In the letter, he used an incognito signature ("FFFFF"), likely standing for “Find French Finger F Forget,” and warned his friends to inform neighbors that they were “loud obnoxious drunks.” This correspondence, along with the film Animal House which came out a few years earlier, indicates his embrace of this lifestyle during a formative period.

Adolescent Experiences and Their Impact

It’s important to recognize that these behaviors occurred approximately 35 years ago, when Kavanaugh was a teenager. In his current middle age, there’s no evidence of ongoing binge drinking. While it's possible that he could still have an alcohol problem, many individuals who over-indulged in their youth often grow out of it. Adolescence is a time when individuals naturally test boundaries; these experiences do not always translate into lifelong habits.

Reports and Media Descriptions

Multiple individuals who knew Kavanaugh in high school and college have reported that he was a frequent and excessive drinker during those days. These accounts raise questions about his behavior, particularly regarding potential alcohol-related issues. It's essential to consider the consistency and reliability of these reports, especially given the duration between these incidents and the present day.

Alumni and Social Behavior

Contrary to these reports, Kavanaugh's social and academic record in high school and college was quite different. He was described as a social and respected individual who was the valedictorian, football captain, and often volunteered at a soup kitchen. High performers like these typically do not hide a secret life of excessive partying. His peers and mentors held him in high regard, and such a stark discrepancy needs to be addressed.

Future Insights

The FBI investigation into his conduct should provide further clarity. A pattern of binge drinking and behavioral changes while under the influence of alcohol could corroborate the allegations against him, but it would be a limited reflection given the 35-year difference in time. The aim should be to look beyond these past behaviors and assess how they relate to his current conduct and character.
