This is in response to the Sun Journal editorial, Sept. 7, “Cut the cost of booze? Let’s not do that.”

I disagree with anyone suggesting that lowering the price of alcohol will be a bad thing. Price has never prevented anyone from drinking. If anything, it will decrease drinking.

Anyone opposing a price decrease is probably bellyaching because they receive money from high alcohol prices. This is really an example of manipulative lobbyists or special interest groups trying to persuade public opinion. How is making anything more affordable a bad thing?

People need to practice self discipline, be responsible for their own actions. There is no reason to seek greater government control over people’s personal life. The government has no right regulating prices in the first place. Get money from somewhere else.

That kind of stuff is what is wrong with Americans. Grow up.
