Yall are right, but I still stand by my argument that the most powerful man in the free world ALSO shouldn't drink if SOLDIERS aren't allowed to drink in combat zones since BOTH have to be READY 24/7.

The verb is "continue."

Continue ... moderation in alcohol intake.

The verb is not "moderate" as in "moderate your alcohol intake."

The meaning is that his alcohol intake is already moderate, and should continue to be so.

Logic people, logic.

The recommendation includes “healthy diet” and “periodic dental care”. Using Beck's logic the president is not eating a healthy diet and has been avoiding the dentist.

You guys are trying too hard with this one. Reading the quote above, it looks like a standard recommendation that includes dental care and daily exercise. We know the guy exercises quite a bit and I doubt he neglects his teeth, so this whole thing is probably nothing.

I must THOROUGHLY AGREE with you. When soldiers are deployed, they're NEVER allowed to drink at ANY point in time because it lowers the readiness and could potentially jeopardize an important operation when it comes up. I would have to say the SAME SHOULD apply to the POTUS.
