When harm to society is considered, does that include such things as health care, legal/criminal, and damages to property?
Death would obviously be a more weigghted category.
The single use danger makes sense.
I wonder, is length of horrific suffering and toll it takes and trauma it leaves, a factor?
(My dad was a drinker, his many medical issues attributed to drinking were not much fun to witness over the 7 months I had to stay with them til he died.
This is a great response.
