Well, the whole being physically addicted is as much of a disease as anything. Hell, you can die from alcohol withdrawal. With that said, once he sobers up and dries out, he'll understand how much the booze fricked his life up. It's not an excuse though, as he made the decision to pick it up in the first place, but don't be obtuse to the fact that alcoholism is a disease that frequently needs medical intervention for the body to overcome.
BULLfrickINGSHIT!
Been there done that. 'Disease' is the weakest of excuses. Cancer is a disease. Diabetes is a disease. Alcohol is a voluntarily ingested drug to which you can become addicted.
Do you consider meth heads to have a 'disease'?

Yes, I consider addiction to be a disease. It's really not a debate, pretty cut and dry.
