"Liberal with the liquor" does not an alcoholic make, tho. XD

don't get me wrong, he was drunk on the job, which is absolutely wrong and could get his license taken in real life. However, he was in the middle of a personal crisis.

Being an alcoholic means you depend on alcohol. You need it to feel normal, and suffer when you don't have it. Whale is not that. I say this as someone who is liberal with the alcohol, and watched my sister fight her battle with it.

I don't mean to stand on a soapbox, but it's a label that gets thrown around too much.
