Alcohol and Drugs do Lead to Crime

   'Tis suggested, somewhere in the links below, that 36 percent of those in prison were drinking just before committing their crimes. Violent crimes? The study suggested 40 percent of those were associated with alcohol.
   The figures don't mean a thing if 36 percent of us are drinking at any one time, or if 40 percent of us are consuming alcohol at any given moment. But, obviously, we don't drink quite that much. So, the statistics mean something, mean a lot.
   And, a study over in England showed about half of all the property offenses were committed by drug users looking for a way to fund their drug use.
