In order to lower rates of alcoholism, All alcoholic beverages must be packaged in 6 liter bottles or larger, and priced accordingly.

Who said they were going to lug around the whole bottle? Who said they weren't already alcoholics when the rule went into effect? Who said the kids/panhandlers won't pool their money or steal to get the alcohol? Most 'drunks' don't see those empty bottles as an accomplishment, they see it as yet another failure, it makes them more depressed, and so they go onto the next bottle. I'm sorry about your dad. My son quit paying his bills but he still found the money to buy the handles of vodka that killed him a few months ago. He didn't hide the bottles. He lived alone. There were several empty handles in his apartment when he was found dead.
