I think almost all people have weaknesses and vices.

I battle with poor sleep habits. I battle hard with temptation to eat junk foods constantly and I hate 99% of foods that are good for me. Those two things will kill you as fast as drinking if you don't fight your urges. I've been diagnosed with Autism by doctors.

I probably could have milked the Autism angle into getting feel good pills, or getting some type of cash benefits, or as a reason to leach off of my parents and sit around all day doing nothing with an excuse in my pocket. The Autisim is really just an extreme discomfort around people and a struggle to understand social cues and small talk. It's something you can accept you're not good at and try to improve.

If a person can accept that they have a weakness for booze -- they should still be able to work to avoid drinking themselves to their grave.
