My first impression after reading this story was how do they make these generalizations from a survey of 1,500? That is statistically insignificant. In the past couple of years, people are choosing spirits over beer & wine, a fact that has been captured as a reason why people are drinking more. If you wanted to say that people are drinking more because they can’t stand their kids, families, & spouses; well that just sounds self centered and selfish. Perhaps people are just starting to tell the truth? If the survey had mentioned that there were more divorces, incidents of child or spousal abuse, and an increase in traffic accidents & fatalities; I might have believed this hollow story, but it didn’t. This an opinion piece and not front page news. Steven Pettinga (subscriber), Indianapolis
