I really don't see how or why booze is sold to be consumed outside of the home. Respect the effect.. Just shake your head and move on. Also don't try to run for public office..

I have to disagree about booze being sold to consume outside the home. First of all how would it be controlled? and for many, even those who drink rarely there is nothing like a nice glass of wine when enjoying a perfect steak or seafood in your favorite restaurant. They go together for many. As much as I enjoy my wine I do not frequent bars and have trouble understanding why some people do, but it is up to us, as individuals to control our drinking, it isn't to the government to tell us where and when we can drink.

Alcoholism is very unattractive. It can ruin your life (and that of your family).

I hope you get help.

So you have convinced yourself he is an alcoholic, is that right? I think that is a bit judgemental. I do not know, nor do you how serious his drinking is. Yes, it can ruin families but there is a difference between a drinking and an alcoholic.
