There's one notable difference between cigarette smokers and drinkers - generally, cigarette smokers won't kill anybody but themselves (hardly anybody ever smokes indoors around non-smokers anymore in my experience, at home or in public, so that second hand smoke argument is kind of moot these days). Drunk drivers kill other people every day.

Drinking in moderation is fine. If you're incapable of the moderation part of that equation, you can either stop drinking or die drinking. From the latest news headlines, it does appear as if Charlie Sheehan prefers the latter. Hey, more power to him. At least he'll die rich.
