I have been blessed with a talent for moderation, which runs in the
family. But some are not so lucky. One definition I've heard for an
alcoholic is someone who, when they take one drink, cannot predict the
outcome. I can't relate personally, but that's got to be a much more
complex set of issues than just the person is weak and can't control
their urges.

Is every protaganist in a film glorified?
