Or he saw a way out?

On the upside, there is a pretty good chance he had really good life insurance.

That does suck though, I feel for his wife.

That’s what I was thinking too.
But he was supposed to wait until after the honeymoon...

They didn't say how much he drunk. My limit was 15 schooners before I passed out. (Thats's 15oz. per glass.)

Used to have a Chinese friend whose face would always get very flushed when he had a couple. I asked him about it and he told me that was the way with the Chinese, that it was just the way their bodies reacted to alcohol. I wonder if this had something to do with it.
