Looks to me like you're patronizing Tom, aren't you Ryan? Pretty 
audacious telling him what to do with his money, no? Tom worked for 
his money... where and how it goes is his business.  
Just between you and me... how much each week do YOU pass out to 
dishevled strangers queueing up in front of the liquor stores?
