Come on - really? Alcoholism is a lifetime problem, always with relapses.

There is near certainty this will be a problem again.


Personally I think an alcoholic really cannot continue to drink beer or any alcohol, it's heading to disaster. Is there anything wrong with drinking beer? Not for you or me perhaps, but for an alcoholic it's just disaster. The real question is only when he will relapse, how will he deal with it, and who his support circle will be to help him with it. If he develops a good friend/support circle, he can get through his relapses without losing his career / his life. And not to mention developing cirrhosis by 50 years old. Mark my words, if his eyes start to turn yellow and his belly gets real big - his liver is failing.



Anyway, I still love the move, well worth the risks. Would be nice to still have AJ Smith as backup if McCloughan can't keep it together over the next few years.
