It’s pretty obvious you’ve never been an addict. Seems like you have probably never known or even talked to one either.
It doesn’t reduce harm. It makes addicts purchae more to make sure they have “enough”. Then, when the stores are closed and they still have SO MUCH BOOZE they try to drink it all because, hey, it’s a special occasion. On the next event, they’ll buy the new, greater quantity, because that’s how much they needed last time.
For the real addicts, the ones who can’t sleep a whole night without waking up to hit some shots, a whole day without booze can be deadly.
These laws are made exclusively by religious nut jobs that want to legislate morality, villify conduct they don’t agree with, and control the behavior of people they don’t like.
wild, I come from addicts. Like, youre right, Im not addicted to alcohol or drugs. But that is because Ive watched my entire bloodline struggle with addiction.
I have sat side seat to an alcoholic triggered from wine at thanksgiving dinner who tried to buy alcohol after we left, and couldnt. Kept him sober that day.
Harm reduction. Full of fire in this comment, I dont like religous nut jobs either.
I can tell you horror stories about alcohol. Ive seen my step family, a group of 40something year old siblings, throw a man going to prision for so many dui’s they threw him a kegger before he left. I come from straight up white trash. My bio father just passed away last feburary from drinking himself dead, like
My step father would get so drunk he’d just beat us for no reason.
Drunks still gonna drink, yes, but christ to say it again, its harm reduction. Because if they run out on the sad holiday, they cannot get more that day. Theyre not DRIVING to get more either. Most severe alcoholics are suicidal, and will try to kill themselves with the bottle around holidays.
note, CT is a little different than KY or such. These laws are old, and like the sunday thing, are more from the package store lobbiests than the relgious people.
