I think if you accept government assistance, it's okay to put some controls on what is distributed. No alcohol, no tobacco, It seems rather mean-spirited, though, to some extent. I do think the same type of controls should be placed on hand-outs to bankers or mortgage companies though. For instance, if drug testing is necessary for poor people receiving food stamps, then all those bankers and financial high-fliers who received government bail out money should be subject to drug-testing as well
