Similar you don't have to be an alcoholic to drive drunk. You can just be a selfish #######.

Yes I apologize this came off in the wrong way.
They absolutely can care for loved ones. What I meant is With extreme alcoholism when they hit a certain frame of mind all common sense is thrown out the window. They will do what it takes to drink. yes, they can absolutely take steps to prevent themselves from having a car around. But many extreme alcoholics drink through out the day.
You can say that if they are good caring person they wouldn't have a vehicle in the first place. Problem from what I have seen is they are in denial.
Maybe this is just what I have seen first hand. Good person to begin with but once they are fueled by a certain amount of alcohol all common sense is gone.
I do agree with what you are saying as well. I just see it a bit differently. But once again I really am not justifying drinking and driving. Furthest from what Iam saying. I see how it can come off that way. But it is the absolute furthest from what I'm trying to explain.
