Should an alcoholic be allowed a liver transplant?

[Reddington]

Absolutely not. In fact, I strongly believe all addicts should be stripped of all medical benefits at the expense of the tax payers money. If they want medical care, they should pay for it by themselves, if they can. If they can't - tough. Society thrives on equal contribution, not on worthless parasites who leech off of a hard working (wo)men so they can spend their days boozing themselves to sleep.

I know and actually understand that drinking is a coping mechanism for a lot of people who feel overwhelmed with something and with life in general. Life sucks, but alcohol isn't the answer either.

As harsh as it is, I agree. The ONLY exception to this is if the person is genuinely tying to get better. If they aren't, and are actively partaking in their addiction without any remorse, then strip them of all basic health care. Far too many lives have been lost because of drunk driving and drugs.
