Predisposition to addiction does exist, but it doesn't excuse one's actions. For example, some people are predisposed to mental problems. That doesn't exclude them from the responsibility of helping themselves.
Which is why it is illegal to fire someone based on their potential to do wrong in the future. One's job should be determined based on performance balanced by a need to protect the publics safety. The driver in this case had not done anything wrong. In fact, there's been no evidence posted that indicates that he ever drove drunk or impaired in any way and he is seeking help.
