Why is it that we can sue drug companies for making a drug that harms us, and cigarette companies for making a product that gives us lung diseases, but we can't sue the alcohol companies? These companies that distribute alcohol, make a product that causes us much more harm than the others. We get cirrosus (spelling) liver, pancreitis, and whatever else and we consume a product that makes us become addictive to it and do stupid things that in turn get us in serious criminal trouble and even cause some of us to kill others from its use. This product causes marriages and families to break up, causes fatal car accidents, mishaps at work and loss of work, legal problems, just to name a few. Anyone else have any thoughts on this? People may say, just don't drink it, but some of us have that addictive gene in us and when we take that 1st drink, we are addicted.
