Michelle Obama's Biography

Michelle Obama is too big a presence to be relegated to her role as First Lady. She’s a lawyer, activist, and advocate for numerous causes, especially fighting childhood obesity through her “Let’s Move!” campaign.

Though Obama has often emphasized her private nature, she seemed to take her role as a public figure in stride. But when it comes to booze, she’s been a little harder to pin down (just like her husband).

According to a few accounts, Michelle Obama seems to enjoy a good Martini, and won’t turn down a Margarita with her Mexican food. But at least during the eight years of her husband’s Presidency, the First Couple didn’t drink very much at all, often leaving their drinks unfinished and sticking to water and coffee. It’s certainly a healthy way to enjoy one’s booze, but maybe we’ll see them a bit more relaxed in the years to come.
