youandwhosearmy 0 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 No, it isnt. Thats an excuse. More often than not alcoholics are people with addictive personalities, if it was not alcohol, it would be something else. Would you say people who are criminals have a disease? how about people with social or behavioural problems? they are all in the same bracket. They are not diseases, they are personaloty weaknesses, that they need to address, control and work towards learning to cope with. this is all pretty deep for my first few posts, but its a subject i believe in.

Meenzer 15525 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Regardless of whether it's a disease or not, if he's going to die of it, I hope it happens sooner rather than later so he's still got some chance of being remembered with fondness. Not that dragging it out in the media for decades seems to have hurt George Best's legacy much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, i would much rather he pulled himself out of it and lived a normal life, but that doesnt look likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, i would much rather he pulled himself out of it and lived a normal life, but that doesnt look likely As I said, if he's going to die of it then etc. I'd also far rather he got over it, but I agree, the signs aren't exactly sparkling.

Gazza's maybe both and has a lot of mental health issue IMO of which the alcohol consumption is just a symptom. And tbh he's had nothing like the help say Best got in his life over the years.
