Ben Affleck says he drank because he felt ‘trapped’ in his marriage. Is that fair?

DIY chopping advocate Rhian Deutrom argued plastic tubs of pre-chopped onions were “absurd”, adding, “the idea that someone could be so utterly lazy that they would avoid picking up a knife to dice their own damn bulb seems ludicrous”.
