[Gay State Conservative]

Having worked in a large hospital's ER for 20 years I can attest to the fact that excessive alcohol consumption...whether it be habitual,in the case of the typical alcoholic or a single episode,like with some kids...costs this nation a breathtaking amount of suffering and costs us billions,and billions,and billions,and billions of dollars each year.

If this drug proves to be effective to any noticeable degree the benefits to this nation would be incalculable.

I'm certainly not opposed to this drug, but I do not like seeing a supposed conservative use the liberal argument that a particular behavior "costs" us some unprovable amount of money.
