what, do you want to wait till he kills himself or someone else to get your answer?

i think he is trying to differentiate between alcohol abuse (Aldon does this for sure) and alcohol dependence (physocally and mentally addicted)

Accidents do happen and I am sorry for your brother but what I am saying is that an athlete getting a DUI should not mean that he should automatically check in rehab. No one here knows if Aldon has a drinking problem or if it's him just parrying up and getting busted twice. There is a difference between people who drink and get busted and people who are alcoholics and wake up each day with the idea to drink a bottle for breakfast.

In quite a few professions, it means you lose your job, period. It shows that you are a liability respect, can't be trusted to be responsible and have questionable decision-making. Even in the military nowadays they are discharging some people for just a single DUI.

in Aldon's case, it goes well beyond drinking to a variety of other issues including suspected painkiller abuse. He's got a considerable amount of issues that he needs to work on and in his case, this is the right thing to do.

Depends on what you mean by drink. Have I driven an hour or more after having dinner and a beer or two with friends? Sure. Have I ever driven after having four or five straight drinks at the bar? f**k no.

I remember being heavily hung over walking to PT after a night of hard partying in the barracks a few times.

This is surreal. I can't believe our best defensive player is in rehab. Never in 25 years have i head of anything like this.

Better in rehab and getting his s**t together. I also don't think it is a foregone conclusion that the NFL will suspend him later. Since he and the 49ers are being proactive in response, I don't think Goodell will see a need to further punish him.

esp if he decides to miss the entire year, which i would be in favor of.

Ho many times are you going to say that? We get it. You want him to sit out the whole year.
