Handy tip: complete it when sober.
EDIT: OK, you've brought out the Vogon poet in me. Here's my edit:
When you confront a sober alcoholic,
You confront a fighter.
With a mortal enemy still slumbering within;
An enemy, whom cannot be defeated.
Traveling, within a world of alcoholic abuse,
Misunderstand weighing upon every step.
Society, still scorning in shameful ignorance,
Looking down, in unconcealed contempt.
A forgotton citizen,
Pushing through the crowds,
Alert amongst the alcoholic seas.
But know this, my friend:
Few are more alive than he!
To make all-encompassing and with you on the ‘hero’ thing,
When you confront a reformed addict,
You confront a survivor who’s found the lifeboat.

How about:
There was a young man from Aberystwyth,
Who took out a girl to play whist with,
When she trumped his last trick,
He whipped out his d**k,
And played hell with the hole that she pissed with !!
