Context? Posts like this are in the very least thought provoking. Maybe he's stretching it, but I think his point about alcoholism being social acceptable to the extent that nearly no one is objective about the impacts it has on our lives-- it's thought provoking. But, yeah, without context I think it's an interesting angle to take, and I have no clue who is the alleged alcoholic, and therefore don't know who the implied critique is aimed at.

I mean it's totally subjective though isn't it? Trump risk #2 is a perfect example: "Might go nuts" (risk of 2 relative to a 10 for Hillary's 'drinks alcohol'). Go nuts? What is the risk if you think he already is nuts? 3? 30? 300?

Trying to put numbers on these things is the sign of someone who doesn't understand basic things about numbers, like that they're meant to represents facts and be objectively comparable to one another (i.e., 10 is 5x worse than 2), not just something you pull out of your ass.
