Do you suppose that alcohol consumption only harms the consumer? Well beyond 25,000 lost each year due to drunk driving. what are the dollar numbers, born by society, of the alcoholics, the wife beaters, the derelicts and the growing stupidity of our ‘party nation’.
I said "direct harm".
There are laws against beating your wife, or anyone else for that matter, drunk driving, etc.
Personal reponsibility should handle the rest.
BTW, I agree about the stupidity of our "party nation".
