That fact always stuck out in my mind about him after reading a newspaper article several years ago when he was staying at a hotel in Toronto. A reporter accompanied him while he took his wife's two dogs out for a walk and when they passed two inebriated customers coming out of a bar, they cheerfully said hello, but Bob angrily commented that he couldn't stand "drunk people".
The more I study it, the greater the puzzle becomes.

Must have been something that stemmed from his childhood or his days in vaudeville. You never hear of Hope drinking alcohol. I don't really know where he stood on the issue.
Anyway I don't blame him. Drunks are annoying. They always appear when you don't want them. They are loud, obnoxious, rude, violent and far too sensitive. Just yesterday I had to deal with two of them and both of them had their feelings hurt way too easy. They speak of lovable drunks, but I've rarely met any of them.
