Both the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and the World Health Organization International Classification of Diseases (ICD) recognize alcoholism/alcohol abuse disorder as a medical condition.

If we are to accept the precedent that the pathology excuses the behavior, how will any alcoholic drunk driver that kills somebody ever be held legally responsible?
