I don't think it has anything to do with him being inexperienced nor does it have anything to do with him being black. Who really cares what color he is? The problem I have with him having a beer (even though I enjoy one every now and then) is that he comes from a line of alcoholics. His grandfather died because of alcohol. His father had two legs amputated because of drunk driving and then died when he decided to drink and drive again. And I'm not 100% sure but I think his step-father had a drinking problem too (not sure, I think I just read that in the book, The Obama Nation). It's already been proven that alcoholism is hereditary, so that's the issue I have with him having a beer. If he keeps it under control I have no problem with it, but why tempt heredity?
P.S. he also is struggling with his smoking addiction but nobody is making a fuss out of that.
