    Three deaths and a negative cash flow. Hmm. Reminds me of how my wife saved me all that money during the holiday shopping season.

    I doubt the deaths were caused by the study. These people have been drinking obscenely for years.


    Part of the point is that they drink less because of the program.


    I disagree with all of it, and have yet to be surprised by the ridiculous government programs. That said, this is probably not the worst I've seen.
