Not trying to fight with you or anybody else here but I need to make a point.
I've known plenty of addicts including a relative that's in his 50s and has been an alcoholic most of his life.
With that being said, resorting to drunk driving requires more than simply being an alcoholic; it requires somebody to completely lack common sense.
Telling people that they should have empathy for a drunk driver that got themselves injured in a car wreck that was caused by their own stupidity is like saying that we should have empathy for rapists and child abusers because they have mental health issues too and need help.
There is a line you do not cross no matter what and if you cross that line, than you have lost the right for people's empathy as far as I'm concerned.
