It's a fictitious role, of course — there's no official cabinet position for overseeing spirits — but that didn't stop the Internet from eating it up.

"My God I love America!" chimed in a third.
"I fully support this. I might need to come taste test those, every once in a while. For...security purposes, obviously," another joked.
This isn't the only time Kid Rock has gone viral this week.

Among the A-list attendees were 78-year-old Trump himself, Elon Musk, and rapper Jelly Roll, making the event a hotspot for unexpected photo ops.
One snapshot in particular set social media ablaze — a picture of Kid Rock and Musk, 53, posing together, with Jelly Roll, 39, hilariously photobombing in the background between the two stars. After the picture hit the internet, it didn't take long for fans to enter the chat.
"The absolute best thing about this photo is Jelly Roll's photobomb," one fan laughed, while another added, "Just a few dudes...watching some other dudes beat each other's asses...while saving America!"
Others were quick to comment on Musk's transformation, saying, "Elon Musk has gone from nerd to Tony Stark overnight and he's literally living his best life!" The quirky trio even inspired TV show comparisons: "The new season of True Detective looks awesome," quipped a third.
