But drinking and driving is not the same as alcoholism. If you're an alcoholic you may not be able to stop yourself from grabbing that first drink, but you can certainly get rid of your keys. There's no impairment there. Grab a cab, call a buddy, walk home, sleep it off, freeze to death. All better options than getting behind the wheel and putting other people in risk and any 'responsible' alcoholic understand that.
Excusing drinking and driving as the same as alcoholism is a disservice to those actually suffering through alcoholism. Any one excusing drinking and driving can go to hell.

Settle down. No need to respond that way.
If you are thinking I'm making excuses for making it okay you are totally off base. I just think it's a lot easier said then done when a disease has full control over you. No way I ever said this was okay! And in no way shape or form Iam saying that this is the case with Ray.
