@BrannDon Albert I would tend to stay away from alcohol without getting to know them first.

However, some tenants are seriously damaged by drugs or alcohol and really feel that you have done them wrong when you don't refund the deposit after they have made a small effort to clean or repair.  

When you have a deadbeat, your property is often already damaged due to the filthy way they live and the drugs and alcohol they abuse and the poor choices they make.

When they smell of alcohol on their breath early in the day ...

I ended up with 2 alcoholics, a drug addict and one guy who just disappeared and we suspect he might have been undocumented.

Lolita done did dirty a fine upstanding young Texas boy and ruined his life.The only way he could have made this implausible pass-the-buck story MORE of a cliche was explaining that he was cunningly plied with alcohol and she was well-known for having unstable relationships with lots and lots of guys and/or that he found out later that she had had several various mental health problems and/or that he knows she's separated now from her fifth husband who left her in a doublewide with eight kids by six different men, two of them mixed-race...hey Aaron, did Lester the Molester feed you anything like that about the person a court of law decided was HIS VICTIM?

As a fairly social guy when I was college age, I thought I knew a lot about the less legal aspects of party life and drugs when I had my college boarding house going putting up with roommates using alcohol.

We attract mostly guys and though we are not in the party zone, they tend to be more dirty and lots of alcohol.   

You might not be covered for something as simple as having alcohol in your system, from one drink.  

Back in a day we used to mix denatured alcohol with borax.
