I honestly don’t care if a poor person is worse than “beggared” by the sentence.
Thing is, the rich person should be, too. Make it scale based on available resources.
I think around 90% of all available money on the poor end to 99.999% on the rich end is fair. Or I’m the case of Bezos-level richies, leave them with about $5 a year to live on.
This mistake should essentially completely ruin the drunk’s entire life permanently. No reason to spare them any misery. There’s no other way to make it a law not worth breaking into you make it absolutely impossible to live with doing it.
There are issues to work on about who receives the money to prevent further problems, but it’s a start.
