I can sympathize with the frustration felt---my older brother deliberately drank himself to death. However, to live in a free society means that people will abuse that freedom, and to try to hold a business accountable for what people choose to do is not going to solve anything because alcohol is legal, plain and simple---and even if it wasn't, people still have to be properly equipped to deal with having access to mind-altering substances when they encounter them, because that is an inescapable reality of life. Additionally, such a lawsuit implies that the people themselves have no control, and are helpless puppets of the breweries---and this robs them further of any sense of control over their lives. <br />Every religion and philosophy of any merit exemplifies the many benefits of self control---which results in better lives and safe, structured environments that are necessary for children, and thereby a better world for all.ravenhairedmaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13902092909364001693noreply@blogger.com
