A person who is an alcoholic needs to go to a detox and then a rehab and then into a lifetime of a recovery program.

A person that commits a crime should go to jail whether they are an alcoholic or not.

You are correct in that alcoholism is not a choice. But committing a crime is. You should not be able to use being drunk as an excuse for committing a crime.
