Re: Alcohol ‘major factor’ in child poverty, Sept 12 story.

Poor people are alcoholics? Geeezus, 270,000 kids can’t be in poverty because of alcohol — they are poor because their income only covers rent, basic food and power. If some of them use some of the money for alcohol, then as a community support them and help them. But don’t give the haters ammunition with such a blanket headline. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
