I don't care if you drink or not, but if you steal from people, you are a fucking criminal. Blaming the alcohol, as if it climbed out of the bottle, pushed your hand into the pocket of an innocent stranger and made your fingers extract that person's possessions is unfortunately a common form of self-serving fiction designed to allow people who do awful things to pretend there's a line between their imaginary "pure" self and their bad behavior. The addiction scenario has now expanded so that even if your criminal acts are done without having had a drop of liquor that day, it's still because you haven't "admitted" to yourself that you have this so-called disease. In the above story, notice the narrator wasn't drunk enough to lack the coordination to be sneaky enough to succeed stealing a wallet, nor so oblivious as to try to steal from someone who looks like a Hell's Angel. This person not only remembers the crime, but also the justification. That isn't very drunk, just mildly buzzed. In such a condition, one is responsible for one's acts, and one's self-serving, selfish, antisocial justifications

Blathering about imaginary retribution from the universe like Mr Sensitive doesn't make you any less of a criminal. Quit stealing.
