 ==Personalise the problem==
-In 1998 a judge in Ohio, USA, passed a most unusual sentence to a persistent drink driver.  The man was given a suspended jail sentence and and ordered to live within walking distance of a bar or shop which sold alcohol.  The judge reasoned that the man, an alcoholic, was not going to stop drinking therefore "If he could be kept out of motor vechicles he could drink himself to death with impunity if that is his desire" The sentence was aimed at protecting the public from this man  rather than trying to rehabilitate him.  Some in the medical professio were disgusted by the sentence and believe that alcoholism is a treatable condition, abstinence with suport and treatment being the cure.  For them this sentence of letting a patient drink himself to death if he so wishes is on a par with letting a pneumonia go without antibiotics.

-Grant, however, described the sentence as "ingenious"  this type 'solution' based on individual problem drinkers rather than the whole community is exactly the type of solution Grant, and others within the alcohol industry advocate.<ref>Abigail Trafford 'Don't Call Him Hopeless' ''The Washington Post'', January 13th 1998 </ref>  This is exactly the type of solution to problems associated with alcohol that the industry supports.  Such individual level solutions are perfect for the alcohol industry as they do nothing to fetter the sale and distribution of alcohol and instead directly target individuals and gives them total responsibility for their behaviour leaving the industry free of unwelcome obstacles to their business.
