For the most part I believe that to be true. I know someone that was diagnosed with another mental disease and I know they use it as an excuse to continue to act how ever he/she wants.
I am not saying these people dont have
something wrong with them but I think it is largely an excuse and a lot of them do not want the help. Unfortunately people in the OP link show the absolute worst case scenario but people like that dont give a fiddlers f%$# what they do or who they hurt. I have been there where I saw that alcohol could become a problem for me and I chose not to contine drinking like I did, my cousin is in a similar situation and I worry about him sometimes because he tells me how he got drunk this night or that.
People that are alcoholics do need help but I do not think this is a disease
