If you read the Des Moines Register article, it seems that he may have wanted more than a kiss, but got nothing more than you saw. He allegedly asked for a tour of the frat house from one of the girls, but was turned down. If groping was going on in public, there would probably be pictures. He looked so trashed that the "hotties" were saying get this guy outta here.
As for whether or not he is an alcoholic, nobody but those closest to him know enough about his personal habits to make that determination. He definitely could be in the early stages.
The disease is such that you don't tend to think you are an alcoholic when you are in the early stages becase you tend to find social situations in which to drink, a way of convincing yourself you are just joining the party, not doing something abnormal (see photo evidence!). You can also keep from alerting others to your problem in this manner. People may think that all you need to do is "drink responsibly." In reality, when an alcoholic starts drinking, body and mind act together to prevent any possibility of being responsible - they want to be fed.
It is only in the later stages that you degenerate to the point that you don't care about drinking with anybody else, you just want to drink. That's when you look like the caricature of an alcoholic instead of just the life of the party. If Eustachy has a problem, lets hope he is really aware and addressing it, rather than putting up a front to keep his job (which is likely over anyway).
