“So your solution is the big bad nanny government telling men what they can and cannot spend their money on?

Should the bartender be a licensed government official that cuts you off after you spend an appropriate % of your wage on alcohol?

Or do you more go for complete prohibition? “

I see four possible scenarios:

1. Prohibition

2. Families and individuals, particularly vulnerable children, routinely destroyed as in killed, starved, abused and neglected through drug and alcohol abuse, call it “freedom” (which is how things were before Prohibition)

3. Social welfare and feminism to replace worthless or near worthless husbands/fathers; (our current system)

4. Or, strict enforcement of abuse, neglect, abandonment, alimony, child support, and drunkenness laws with fathers held strictly accountable.

My preference is #4.

Well I agree that spending your money on booze while leaving children destitute is bad, perhaps even criminally negligent; does spending money on some Whiskey instead of a new Playstation 360 count as abuse?

What government bureaucrat gets to draw the line?

Will the line be more rigorously enforced among Republican parents than among Democrat parents?
