You're right, alcohol is not a disease, it's poison. Some can play with the alcohol snake for many years before it finally bites them, but the snake will bite some right away. If you may think you can play with the snake and it will never bite you as it did Mel Gibson, you are very wrong.
Mel Gibson needs our prayers right now, not our ridicule.
It's not about the drinking, it's about the bigotry.
