When do we get to out alcoholics in elected office and use that to critique their politics? We may need to open whole new forums.When alcoholics support policies that promote alcoholism, I suppose. If former BC Premier Campbell, who was convicted of drunk driving, were to introduce legislation reducing penalties for drunk driving, I think his own status as a drunk driver would be relevant.
Driving while impaired is a crime. Alcoholism is a disease. We punish and deter the former. We treat and accommodate the latter. Your analogy betrays a failure to grasp that distinction.
