until our society recognizes alcoholism for the addiction disease that it is, this trend will only continue to increase. incarceration only encourages repeat offense; it just sucks tons of taxpayer money to have criminal sit around without receiving the treatment they need to prevent recidivism. but common sense is entirely un-American, so we'll just continue to toss people in jail and wish away their addictions.
