Why do politicians advocate for this? It is simple-— NONE of them have ever worked a day in their lives, and it is sooooooo simple to come up with tax money from “sins” of victimized marketed addictive products. The taxes from which line the pockets of the criminal political class of useless (t@rds)... like John....”rasta man” Boehner— a bigger a@@hole in DC cannot be found (a bar owning golf caddie commode hugging drunk, and his daughter married to a jamaican ganja posse gangster-— that should help his being head “lobbyist” for Cannabis, Inc.). The entire line of BS from these people disgusts me. The lives RUINED for their political and personal profit.
But.... do love Single Malt, as an ambrosia, not a daily escape from responsibility, and numbing of true human emotion and caring.
For many, alcohol is not the problem. It is the solution to their problems. As you say.
It does not end well.
