Brett Kavanaugh's classmate says he lied about drinking
A classmate of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has accused the judge of lying under oath about "heavy" alcoholic drinking.
Charles Ludington said he was "deeply troubled" by Judge Kavanaugh's "blatant mischaracterisation". The judge denies drinking to the point of memory loss.

Prof Ludington, who teaches at North Carolina State University, said he had seen Judge Kavanaugh slurring his words and staggering after excessive alcohol consumption while at Yale.
The professor also said Judge Kavanaugh "was often belligerent and aggressive" when drunk.
"I can unequivocally say that in denying the possibility that he ever blacked out from drinking, and in downplaying the degree and frequency of his drinking, Brett has not told the truth."
He noted that it was not Judge Kavanaugh's drinking habits in college that worried him - it was the fact that he made questionable statements under oath.
"If he lied about his past actions on national television, and more especially while speaking under oath in front of the United States Senate, I believe those lies should have consequences," Prof Ludington said.

His reputation is tarnished, his credibility is shot to bits

I don't think he can recover from the outpouring of his former friends and classmates that he is a sloppy drunk who slurred his words and was unbalanced in public due to his alcoholism.
