BLOG RESPONSE TWO

Going off what Megan said in her blog about alcoholism, people who do become alcoholics obviously have some sort of problem. But whether she thinks that the problem is medical or personal or perhaps even social she does not say. When it comes to recovering alcoholics preaching to others about the "evils" of alcohol, I don't really understand why they would want to lecture complete strangers about how bad it is to drink. I mean, first of all they're sat in a pub (they being Meg and her friend) which suggests to me that the ideas being preached to them are not of great concern. If she's genuinely trying to warn people about what can happen when they drink too much then surely she can do it in a more constructive way; not by hopping from pub to pub hoping to convert people. And if she's doing it in a kind of "holier than thou" mentality, then maybe she, herself, needs to unwind with a drink. Or get a lobotomy.
