"I am not drinking while driving. I am driving while drinking!!!"
Matt and Trey attack the notion that Alcoholism is a disease and not a act of irresponsibility.
Great episode very funny. This is why I love South Park, Matt and Trey's ability to tackle a subject like Alcoholism and give their take on it.
Their take basically which I agree with is that Alcoholism isn't a disease but rather a conscious choice and act of stupidity and irresponsibility.
There are real alcoholics who make a concentrated effort to stay clean and those people should be encouraged. However, this episode is geared for those alcoholics who make no effort at all to stop and don't give a crap what happens to them or the damage they inflict on their families. Those alcoholics don't deserve any sympathy and should be chastized and criticized. .
Enter Randy into the picture. Randy thinks he is dying when the AAA group he's in tells him that Alcoholism is a disease.
Naturally, this gives Randy the excuse to booze even more leading up to many hilarious situations like Randy shaving his head (like if he is a cancer patient), using a wheelchair to move on, and spreading that notion to other drinkers.
Then when a miracle is witnessed at a church statue, everybody comes to see it because of Bloody Mary's special gift to heal the sick.
This part of the story wasn't necessary but it falls into the main story about Randy boozing himself to death.
it also of course lightens up the episode on such a touchy subject like alcoholism.
However, by the end of the episode it's clear by the many instances where Stan tells his Dad that "alcoholism isn't a disease" where Matt and Trey stand on this subject. As somebody who sadly has had to deal with many alcoholics in his family, I agree 100% with the message of this episode.
This is a hilarious episode, and I like the fact that Matt and Trey basically debunk the myth that Alcoholism is a disease but rather a conscious choice by the individual.
