Can you assure me that is the only case? If so, fair enough. Wife had a patient that suffered a mind wipe. Couldn't even feed himself. Well, of course, somebody had to pay to have him rehabed. Therein lies the problem. I don't care if you drink and drive as long as you and your car is out in the desert. However, once it comes onto the streets, it becomes a whole different story. If you can assure me that he won't rack up a bill when his health fails or you can toss him to the sidewalk or that he would quietly kill himself, I would agree with you that the Feds have no business telling him his business. OTOH, when you finally move out of Mom & Dad's roof and don't take their money, you are free to do as you please BUT NOT A MOMENT SOONER. What you don't seem to want to acknowledge is that he won't take himself out alone. He manages to drag others into the issue and we end up footing the bill. When I trash my liver and have no money, who pays? When I go on a binge and hurt others, who pays? When you can isolate the idiot himself, I agree that it is nobody's business but his. Till then, your stupidity affects me.
