Alcoholism as far as I am concerned is an illness. Alcoholism is to do with addictive behaviour. However, the behaviour that occurs when someone is drunk is often bad behaviour. It can be argued that the person is not them self and they need help to beat their addiction. However, the behaviour that often occurs, either to support the habit (e.g. theft) or whilst dunk (argumentative, sleeping on the streets, annoying other people) can be illegal.
I drink occasionally but not to excess. I remember once going to a leaving party of someone I worked with who was about eight and a half months pregnant. No one could keep up with the amount of alcohol she was consuming. That's bad bahaviour. She was affecting the health of her unborn child. Especially as she was smoking heavily and from what I understand was into taking drugs on a daily basis, even throughout her pregnancy. Oh well, she is France's problem now. Viva La France.
