There are many things that the anti-AAs out there and people with just too much time on their hands will throw at the Pro-disease theory.

One is this; How can a voluntary action be considered a disease? There has to be a lot of shame and condemnation around an "illness" or a "disease" that causes people to lie, cheat, steal, kill, fight, vehicular homicide, etc. But some that have it and some that live around it get to see it work first hand.

I don't think there was ever an alcoholic or a hard drinker or even a moderate drinker who said, "I think I'm gonna get up today and get wasted, drive my car and wreck and kill 3 innocent people."
