while i agree that alcohol can destroy families and careers, i dont buy the wife beating.
alcohol does not make someone beat their wife. alcohol lowers your inhibitions. but wife beaters are likely prone to violence even while sober.
Walter, there are people out there who are not violent when sober but are violent when drunk. Yeah, there are those who would beat their wives when sober (and let's face it, those beatings will be worse and more frequent when alcohol is involved), but there's also those that won't. Alcohol affects some people more than others, after all.
