I'll concede my blanket statement with respect to general alcohol use, but I'll argue that this man's specific case is pretty cut and dried.

There is alot of rationalization on his part throughout this thread, and speaking as someone who had a bonafide addiction and kicked it, I recognize what he's going through.

There are no two ways about it. Addiction is a problem with no tepid, dipping-your-toe-in-the-water approach to solving it.
