Yeah but in the same way I could say someone making your argument, or similar ones seen here, is using their own definition of alcoholism to excuse their own drinking problem through defense of Keith. I think some people here are defining alcoholism by the behavior seen at ones "bottom".

For me when I got to my worst point I was just a pretty ridiculous person to be blunt. However for a long time before that I was viewed by other and myself as just a hard drinking/partying guy. It's like with retards, there are high-functioning developmentally disabled people, there are high-functioning alcoholics as well. The difference is alcoholics can get worse, retards level off.
