Under the federal system alcohol rehabilitation is not enough to get a downward departure:
The court commended Swick but ruled that “his efforts to get his life back on track were not, as compared to other cases, sufficiently extraordinary …” to warrant the shorter sentence.
Normally, I'd be at least a little upset by this but I just cannot see how drinking alcohol can cause you put needles into food you know other people will buy and eat.
