I’ve no time for those that abuse our Benefit system.

Some folk actually take to “drinking themselves silly” literally, for differing reasons. Dementia can be alcohol induced. As can death.

The dead ones the state/tax payers don’t have to keep. What about those with other illnesses which are alcohol induced. Should their benefits be cut, possibly punishing the whole family.

Each case has to be judged on its own merits, more thoroughly than seems to be at present.
