A drunk is a drunk is a drunk is a drunk.
For my line of bar security work, we have no seperate protocols for dealing with a nonalcoholic drunk vs an alcoholic drunk.
From a practical/tactical standpoint, how would you distinguish between the two when you are faced with a violent incident involving a drunk? How would you know the person is suffering the illness of alcoholism? Or would you just treat all drunks as if they are alcoholics?
