It is tragic that many folk (including my own family) sneer at and rail against those who don't drink.

One woman named Carrie Nation's life was so disrupted by alcohol, both from her father and her husband, that she took a little hatchet and went into drinking establishments and chopped up the bar area.

Although at times, it doesnt happen that way! At least from where i come from, i have witnessed rural women doing most of the work including providing for their families. The women do the digging in the gardens, they sell the produce to take care of their homes.
