No, dubs is a human being and is in a bad place - this is real and deserves human interaction.
I have never met dubs but there is nothing I would not consider to do (destruction to my family, notwithstanding) to assist in some manner. Cab ride home from a bar? I would truly do it, regardless of the effectiveness of 12+ hours distance. Designated driver? Same thing - I'll pay for the motel room until I get there. Anything based on my own M.O.
The disease model of alcoholism is utter shite, however. If anyone can, with a straight face, describe how drinking and T1 diabetes are the same, I wish you the best in your arguments.
