Before anyone calls me heartless and insensitive, I was/am an alcoholic, who hasn't had a drink for 20 odd years. I'm not particularly strong willed and it's been hard to resist sometimes, but it's doable. If I can do it anyone can.

I don't see how that would work in reality...all it would do is force those people to turn to crime to survive
Then we would be even worse off. See if people welcome the 0.0001p they save per month in taxes that were going to the druggie down the road when their house is burgled...
