I agree that addiction is as much a character flaw as a disease, but that doesn't change the fact that Stuey was a compelling individual worthy of a movie. In fact, it's the flaws in his life that make the story so compelling.

Hey Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle were womanizing drunks. Does that make the story of them as baseball players less interesting? Let's add Ty Cobb and Pete Rose to the list of great athletes with character flaws.

So Stuey wasn't a role model? So what??!!? Bring on the movie, I'm dying to see it.

Never said I was, but I never judged him or said bad things about him either, there is a difference. Its acceptable to praise someone even if you didnt know them. However it is totally unacceptable to say crappy things about someone if you didnt know them personally.
