It's kind of boilerplate. The real question is that a number of judges are now talking about more fine-tuning of the conditions to the actual offender, less boilerplate and more custom conditions, which actually makes sense. It really makes no sense to impose a condition on alcoholics that they not drink. I mean, you're basically setting the person up to fail, and you're essentially setting it up for the police to arrest the person. Now if he gets convicted of a breach of an administration of justice charge, he now has conviction for, essentially, a social problem. He's an alcoholic.
