Didn't Kavanaugh's friend Mark Judge makes references to a character by the name of 'Bart O'Kavanaugh' in his book "Wasted"?
If a person admits that they were a 'loud obnoxous drunk" at some point in time but when questioned directly about his drinking during his confirmation hearing denies this aspect of his life, this doesn't raise questions in the minds of most?
I mean I realize that it's not flattering to portray onself as a any form of a drunk but obnoxious drunks do behave inappropriately, including grabbing on women, not being able to read the subtle and not so subtle indications that their attentions are unwanted.

Kavanaugh 1983 letter: We're obnoxious drunks 01:48
Washington (CNN) In a letter written in 1983, Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh describes himself and his friends as "loud, obnoxious drunks with prolific pukers" -- a stark contrast to the image Kavanaugh painted of himself during his testimony before the Senate last week.
The letter, which was published by The New York Times, and which The Times reports was written by Kavanaugh, shows him reviewing details for an upcoming trip with seven fellow Georgetown Preparatory School classmates. It offers another glimpse into the social lives of the students who attended private schools outside of Washington during the 1980s -- a scene that has been central to questions about Kavanaugh and the accusations of sexual assault he faces.
Also of note, Kavanaugh signs the letter "Bart" -- a name which has previously come up as a possible reference to Kavanaugh in his former classmate Mark Judge's book, where he writes about "Bart O'Kavanaugh."
Kavanaugh was asked about the reference to "Bart" in Judge's book during his questioning by the Senate Judiciary Committee last week.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, a Democrat from Vermont, and Kavanaugh went back and forth about the reference, but Kavanaugh appeared to avoid directly answering the question.
"Judge Kavanaugh, I'm trying to get a straight answer from you under oath," Leahy said. He then proceeded to ask Kavanaugh if he was Bart, "yes or no?"
Kavanaugh responded: "You'd have to ask him" -- meaning Judge.
