The alcoholic mind doesn't think like that. Look at all the people with multiple DUI's. Think having a DUI ever stopped an alcoholic? Being thrown in prison? Regular people think like that---oh, look, a consequence! Not so for alcoholics. We say, "What consequence? Oh, I know i shit my pants LAST time, but THIS time will be different!!"
