I have no hindsight about the US president, but i know about what happened in France, and let me tell you, alcohol was never the issue.
While it seems our president use less coke that he did in 2018-2019 (to be clear, the only instance where i have heard a direct testimony is during the filming of the presidential new year vows of 2019, but a lot of people speculated about his coke habits until 2021), he do use a lot of more legal stimulants, at least during international trips. Age does not mesh well with this kind of stimulants, that can accelerate mental fatigue.
One of my pet theory is that Biden's "decline" was actually caused by drug overuse, and my guess is that he should be a bit more "here" now that he was a year ago.
The fact that Trump don't seems to work a lot and goes rest/golf often is actually a good thing in my opinion, because it will limit his needs for stimulants.
