He drinks a shit load of alcohol and can't help himself? Yada yada yada. Rehab, relapse, rehab, relapse, rehab, relapse. How many times can one bloke be shown sympathy?
Poor ol' Gazza - drinking himself to death. No no, wait - the Vodka poured itself into his mouth!
I do not mean to come across as a cunt, this is just my opinion, but I do not hold sympathy for people like this. Same as those that get cancer when they smoke all their lives. Obesity is a disease nowadays. Everything is a disease or illness.
Don't buy it I'm afraid. Others will tell me different I'm sure.
