There's just as many addicts and alcoholics in the middle/upper classes as there are working classes. There may even be more because quite often they are functioning addicts. (Not that I'm suggesting slummy mummy is that posh) Society just seems to accept someone necking a couple of bottles of wine a day and a few gin and tonics with their business meetings or dinner parties, a lot more than someone who may be claiming UC, working a min wage job, drinking a 3 litre of Frosty Jack's a day and a half bottle of vodka.
