    Default Habitual Drunkards

    36. ARE YOU AN INDIVIDUAL WHO IS A HABITUAL DRUNKARD, OR WHO IS ADDICTED TO OR AN UNLAWFUL USER OF MARIJUANA OR A
    STIMULANT, DEPRESSANT OR NARCOTIC DRUG?

    What classifies you in the PA Commonwealth law as being a Habitual Drunkard and therefore makes you not qualified to get your LTCF?

    I know guys that drink 30 packs daily that have their LTCF... They may not have applied at that state of "drunkenness", but have slowly worked their way to that via a high tolerance built over time. Shall they be stripped of their LTCF?

    To some people if you drink a 6 pack a day you are alcoholic, to some people if you ONLY drink a 6 pack a day your are a lady part.

    Would the part that says "addicted to" join up with "stimulant" without requiring it to be "unlawful user of"?

    If so, coffee fiends and chain smokers have been breaking the law for some time now.

    I have a question, does a person that gets prescription painkillers (narcotics) from their doctor should be stripped from their LTCF even if they been on them for years?

    Yeah I just saw that, depends on the way you read it, but if you are addicted to caffeine, which is a stimulant, you cant get your LTCF...

    I wonder how much legal muscle this question has.

    Do you think an alcoholic would ever answer this honestly?
