Even if he were drunk, alcohol would not ‘make’ you do this if you weren’t already thinking of it.

Perhaps.

Reminds me of the guy earlier this month who killed his wife in the Uber they were taking home from a wedding. He was extremely intoxicated, she wouldn't let him go to the after-party so he pulled out his CCW pistol and shot her in the back of the head.

When police caught up with him, he had passed out in the bushes, reeked of alcohol, and didn't remember any of it. Kept asking how his wife was doing.

They looked like a normal couple. He just snapped.

Horrible incident. The exception to my statement would be that small percentage of people who should never, ever drink any alcohol at all. If lucky, those people find out early in life that they, or relatives close to them have this weakness, and act responsibly.

I have often heard that many American Indians ‘cannot handle’ alcohol consumption without quickly becoming full out alcoholics. I don’t know if that’s just an old myth or what? Still you look at the quality of life on many of today’s reservations, and you have to wonder, if there is some truth to it. I recall stories of how opium ruined the lives of many Chinese in the late 1800’s. China had it’s own way of dealing with the Opium Dens, and it wasn’t done via counseling or enabling.
