After DUIs, Should We Really "Presume" Cheney "Doesn't Drink?"

On NBC's Meet the Press today, Cheney advisor Mary Matalin claimed that the public should be "presuming what we all know, that [Cheney] doesn’t drink." I don't think we should presume that about anyone who has already admitted to drinking before the hunting accident in question. But I especially don't think we should simply "presume that [Cheney] doesn't drink" when what we do know is that Cheney has been convicted twice of drinking and driving.
