NO, no, yes, yes, and some other thoughts. 1) I have little pity for your friend who has to live with the consequences of her actions 2) I have little pity for your friend who has to live with the consequences of his actions 3) agreed 4) funny

I agree with the headline that dealing with the alcohol problems in this country should have effect on the crime rates in this country - but I think this guy's solutions are too "systems" and government based. Alcohol abuse is a complicated issue with more personal/social/familial facets than just government regulation/taxation.
