You are correct that alcohol is not a requirement of having a social life. But having alcohol is neither a precursor to getting drunk. I would say most people thesedays partake in the consumption of alcohol just that they do so with sense and decorum.
Bottom line is it's got ****** all to do with anyone that this woman is on benefits and even less to do with anything is what she spends her money on.
