      You’re only an alcoholic if you say you are. That is what cracked me up about the Biden case to be honest. It said he got in trouble for purchasing a gun, while he was addicted to crack. He would have had to have been convicted of a drug crime before the purchase, or admitted to himself and others that he is an addict. I don’t think it is possible to prove someone is an alcoholic or an addict.

      I like what this guy Dowd said too. Because he has faced no real consequence for his drinking, he feels as if he can sugar coat the seriousness of his problem.
      1. Shows up to work drunk. Drunk is anything over .08 in my opinion. He was definitely over that mark if he still smelled like it.
      2. Has no control over his language, behavior, and family life.
      3. States he doesnt have a problem.
      He hits my mark for an alcoholic for sure. I’ve got just under a year and feel fantastic. It’s the longest since I came back from Iraq. I hear myself in his explanation for sure. Difference is, I’m black and was held to account for my actions.
