I'm not sure the shaming or even the people is the biggest issue with alcoholism and the issues raised in the article.

It's more the almost overwhelming temptation - the need, even - to consume alcohol.

It's not an issue I face, as I'm not an alcoholic, but I'm sympathetic to those who do suffer from this disease and face a less than equal footing in their professional lives as a result. I don't have a solution for the problem.
