Yes, but the other side of the argument is that it's widely known how many drinks affects ability to drive and BAC. That's math, and though it might not be exactly the same for every person, being in denial about that doesn't get much sympathy from me. http://www.transport.wa.gov.au/media...AndDriving.pdf

You may not "think" you are under the influence, but the information is out there and it's not like it's hidden. Nearly every state now makes you go through some sort of drunk driving awareness during the renewal/knowledge test. You can decide not to believe it, but that would be a conscious decision IMO and brings into question their ability to make decisions about anything.

It's a disease, sure, but so is schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, heart disease, and a myriad of others that also include denial as a symptom/effect. We don't hate these people because they have a disease, but we realize the inherent risks and effects on character, physiological state and mental capacity/processing.
