There is the legal line, sure, but we aren't checking for other illegal activity such as check kiting, petty theft, drunk driving, etc... things that people at this socio-economic level might be more prone to do. Only this one.Did you forget the legal-line here?
On that note, though - being an alcoholic can get you in the hot seat, too :shrug:
If the goal is to "save the children", as some here have been advocating, then alcohol can be just as devastating to the kid(s) as illegal drugs, in spite of it being legal. For most* I feel that the children aspect is just an emotional tool to justify their position, not really the position itself.
*- I believe tessaque (sp?) is sincere in her point-of-view, for example, and I respect that, but I still disagree with her.
