The local government must find a remedy to this so that there is no wastage of money, and also preventing alcohol on victimizing others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741684961227307530.post-31728218883791526522008-07-24T15:55:00.000-07:002008-07-24T15:55:00.000-07:00Yes, it is a increasing problem, nation wide. As ...Yes, it is a increasing problem, nation wide. As a recovering alcoholic, who never binged or ever rarely drunk, for 30 yrs, I've paid dearly with my health & the loss of my beautiful husband, who died from the exact same cause.<BR/>I thought we were rare, but apparently NOT! I certainly understand, as we both used liquor to calm our nerves & relieve stress, but NOW, there is no cure for the illness, therefore, worry & stress are full time players in my life !!!<BR/>We are trying to convince our Government Leaders, to enforce legislation, making all Liquor manufacturers, have large warning labels on every container, & while they're at it, increase the purchase prices as well! Hopefully to deter consuming as much !!! <BR/>Drinkers have my sympathy's 100%,<BR/>but, I wouldn't want this illness to hit even my worst enemy !!<BR/>If you'd like a copy of the 2 pg story, just let me know.<BR/>Many thanks.<BR/>Sheila Joyce Gibbs<BR/>sjgibbs@shaw.caAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
