Citing a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Obama administration is suing a trucking company for taking the keys away from an Arkansas driver and eventually firing him after he admitted he was battling alcohol abuse.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a lawsuit this week arguing that Old Dominion Freight Line discriminated against Charles Grams by stripping him of his position and offering him a demotion even if he completed a substance abuse counseling program

Alcoholism is a disability? When did that happen? So should the truck company just wait until the guy got into an accident while he was drunk and driving a semi before they fired him? Yes he had no incidents so far but what's to say he couldn't. I don't know I'm just blown away that alcoholism is a disability.
