For example I know people who use alcohol as their excuse to cheat on their significant other, now for me even if I am loaded drunk I am amble to keep my frame of mind, of right and wrong. I see being drunk as an excuse to get away with something and I hate it when people try or do get off easy when using that as an excuse to get off easy especially when they break the law.
I also noticed this back when I would go out drinking with my shipmates...no matter how wasted I got...there was always a small part of me awake and paying attention..I knew what was right and wrong and never thought of using alcohol as an excuse for my actions.
Now for those who need booze every night or can't control the amount they drink than it is probably an addiction, and if they do something wrong it may be a partial excuse but I think each case should be dissected to determine if it really was an excuse. In general people who have addictions need help but I believe they still know right from wrong.
