    That’s insane but as an alcoholic I can absolutely see someone doing it.

    Some are social butterflies who have to be out and about but talk about not learning lessons.

      “Not learning lessons” is a pretty mild way to put it.

      The only way it isn’t pure evil is if we allow that the alcoholic is not in control of their actions. And if we allow that, they cannot be trusted to drive, or really to even have their freedom. They are 5150, plain and simple.

        They’re in control but reaching them is something best done by people like them in my experience.

        Logic only goes so far, clearly.
