Purse Friend

Betty Lukas gave us lots of helpful advice. I strongly object, however, to her recommendation that we “keep a flask in our suitcase for a nightcap because alcohol is very expensive.” Her assumption is that everyone is a drinker and therefor needs a nightcap.

The media as a whole sets a bad enough example for young people through commercials which promote the drinking of alcoholic beverages as prerequisite to having a good time and having the good life. We who advocate not drinking need all the help we can get.
