HAES, why not sober at any BAC? Both are conditions detrimental to individual health. Both are genetically predisposed conditions. Both are a burden on society. Both result in depression and can be a contributing factor in suicide. Both can result in aggression towards those who argue against dependence. Both are legal. Both can be overcome by respecting your body and willpower. Both are ok in moderation for many people, but not all. If someone supports HAES, then they should also support being a alchoholic. Is there any way in which I am missing that these are not similar?
