That said, Alcoholism is not a disease. It's an addiction, a powerful one, but it's not a disease. The Bible never says, be not sick with cancer.. but it does say be not drunken with wine...

Mercy is Mercy... but if you're going to give pardon to the one who kills someone while driving drunk (a crime) than you'll just have to be "merciful" for the other crimes as well, because they are in sin and don't have the power of God to deliver them from it. No... we have a legal system to protect us and our children. We have to abide by it or it's completely useless to even have and it then becomes a free for all society. Unsafe for us all.

Drunk drivers should spend time in jail and pay large fines, along with losing their licences for a time and having to go to rehabilitation.

Drunk drivers who kill should spend years in jail... in a program, worked with to rehabilitate.. but in jail no less.

How many lives have been destroyed by adultry? Children living in poverty, kids turning to crime. It is a sin that affects more than the two people committing the sin. Should they go to jail also?
