It's a non issue as far as applying the law goes. Drinking and driving laws say you can't drink and drive. Irrelevant to the reasonable and inteligent debates about alcoholism being a disease and what responsiblity the alcoholic takes, no one here wants the laws overhauled so alcoholics can drink and drive.

If the argument is that gambling addiction is a disease and the addict is not in full control of himself, that's fine. But a MLB manager or player is still not allowed to bet on baseball.
