Isn't alcohol addiction a type of disease though, Feario?

always find it people are bit ... weird when it comes to treating alcoholics, i mean cases in point gazza, god and no doubt other irish centre half lol, is the fact that most people still worship them, even though they have the best help around available
yet, see a old bloke in the park grasping a special brew, and watch the abuse get thrown at him ...
especially when people dont know the old bloke in the parks history, could of been a waster, or a won a few medals in a couple of wars, yet the man who had everything, battered a bint gets applauded ....

People don't choose to have brain issues, cancer, etc, but people choose to drink and/or do drugs. Unless all alcoholics and drug addicts are forced to try alcohol and drugs with a gun pointed to their heads.
I am aware that is an extreme point of view, but you can't stop having cancer because you want to. You can stop drinking/doing drugs if you really, really want to. Yes, it will most likely involve rehab of some sort but you are in control of your own destiny, cancer patients (etc) are not. That is a BIG difference.
