I was a borderline alky before getting my act together and agree. Every problem drinker is obnoxious to varying degrees but quite a few of them are the textbook party animal types that are really pretty enjoyable to around until they get too wasted (outgoing, lively, social etc.) They're still killing themselves slowly but a least there are some positives. Fatasses have absolutely no redeeming qualities and must be shamed as much as possible into losing weight.  Except they won't do it. The success rate of most of my friends from my AA days is actually surprisingly high, but I have met so few smallfats+ that changed their habits, and stayed that way. In fact I can only think of one (didn't even believe she was ever fat until she showed me pictures from waaay back). Fat: not even once.
