I haven't labeled him anything, but your post is the exact rationalization of someone who considers an airline pilot who gets drunk on a layover and shows up to pilot an airliner intoxicated as someone who just "screwed up". If someones alcohol consumption is that uncontrollable and their judgement that impaired, there is a problem.
