If you've got a month or so I'll try to summarize the things I saw that were connected to excessive alcohol consumptions.Listed in no particular order...murder,suicide,child abuse,spousal abuse,numerous conditions of the brain,heart and GI tract,etc,car accidents,lost wages,lost jobs.
I understand completely. If you took my comment to mean that I don't comprehend the evils of alcohol, then you're dead-wrong.
But it costs the individuals involved. Not some mythical "society." Guess you don't get the distinction.
