[wah]

Wah, are you, or have you ever been a *client* at Wolf's place of employment?

I'm guessing by that you mean either an institution for the mentally unstable or a prison, eh?

Umm, I've been to 'jail' before (DUI, to continue the threadjack)...there's a story there, as per.

As to the other, I get to that well down in this mefi thread. [search word: "foucault" & "insanity"]

Also, I agree with the 'social definition' of alcoholism. Many of those who 'need' the substance everyday are quite capable of leading mostly normal lives, but, I think most would agree, it puts quite a strain on things. Things like your 'liver'.
