Watch Mitt Drink Away Election Loss With Cartons of Milk on 'SNL'

Mitt Romney's loss in the presidential election this week has raised questions about the future of the Republican party and what comes next in Romney's career, but there was also a more fundamental question: How would Romney, a Mormon whose religion prohibits him from drinking alcohol or caffeine, drown his sorrows after such a public defeat?

The answer, according to Saturday Night Live, is by binging on milk.

In the clip above from last night's episode, Romney stands outside on a balcony chugging carton after carton of milk to cope with his loss while a post-election party is taking place inside. Every time he starts to drink, a member of his family comes out to console him and he quickly ditches the cartons. One of Romney's sons gets suspicious and asks, "Have you been drinking? You smell like a dairy."
