Negating the validity of alcoholism.

Research has shown that alcoholism is a choice, not a disease, and stripping alcohol abusers of their choice, by applying the disease concept, is a threat to the health of the individual.<br />In a recent Gallup poll, 90% of people surveyed believe that alcoholism is a disease.
