Having grown up in a home where my Dad had a drinking problem, I am glad for every limiting factor there was. Pay close attention folks. This is why we are losing our freedom in America. Legislation based on personal experience is becoming the norm.
"It happened to me, so I must stop it from happening to anyone else."
I hear what you are saying. Whenever a tragedy occurs these days, there always seems to be a kneejerk reaction to "legislate the problem away." A few years ago in my neighborhood, a child was run over by his own father in the driveway. It was a horrible tragedy. The child was playing directly behind the vehicle and the father jumped in, started the engine and ran him right over as he backed into the street. Sure enough, some of the kneejerk town board members decided that some kind of new law had to be passed to prevent this from happening in the future. They actually proposed to make it illegal to pull into your driveway. Instead, you had to BACKUP into your driveway so that you could see what was in front of you before pulling out. They even suggested that policemen could go around writing up parking tickets to residents that were parked in their driveway illegally (facing forward). Fortunately they didn't get very far, which is surprising, considering this is Massachusetts and such silly laws are passed on nearly a daily basis around here. There is another town nearby that used to ban butter at restaurants and mandated margarine be used instead. What's ironic is that it was later proven that margarine is worse for you then butter!
Anyway, I feel empathy for those who have experienced alchoholism or have alcoholism in the family. While I will be the first one to boost the health benefits of moderate drinking, I realize that some people (who are prone to alcoholism) are better off not drinking at all. Yet that should be a personal choice and not a government mandated one.
