I can already tell you that the military will deny all benefits is you are hurt drunk driving. If you get hurt you get no health benefits/coverage. If you die you survivors get squat. So it is already happening.
So, from what you say they are doing it in the USA, but I'm saying that's not the case in Canada.
I don't think you understand what I am saying. Stupid ideas breed like rabbits. In 10 years some genius politician in Canada will think it's a good idea and before long you'll have it too. It is a warning of what is to come, not what is now.
I completely understand what you are saying, and agree to a certain extent (except I think that I tend to have a more optimistic viewpoint of humankind). All I was saying is that there are key difference in profit-driven healthcare (especially in the insurance aspect) and publicly funded healthcare. There are pluses and minuses to each, and we all have our reasons for preferring one over the other.
Regardless, even if I were to be incredibly cynical, I stand by my opinion that banning alcohol consumption that exceeds 2 drinks per week (or some other random medical recommendation) is never gonna happen here. As long as we retain our democracy, then the offenders will be voted out faster than a top fuel car covers the 1320...
