Here in Maryland and throughout this great land of Amedica, Alcoholism is what ever it takes to get you into the program. If you have never had a drink of Alcohol you can still be pushed into the A.A. Program, I’ve seen it done a number of times. The .18 grams that a man produces naturally everyday is still used as a reason, even though it’s against the law to do so in some states. Alcoholism is also used as a putdown to demonize individuals who are not very Politically Correct. An off the wall derogatory comment.
Alcoholism has become the new money making scape goat of the era.
Rather than go on and on with my diatribe I’ll refer you to http://www.orange-papers.org
It’s a terrible thing to take an infirmity like Alcoholism and put a spin on it.
Some counselors help, but for the most part, it’s like I said.
Can you all be better people??????? You Decide
