I had adoptive parents who taught me values. I do NOT not care about Anne Heche. The statement is, if one does not listen to the Biblical voice of reason, then one gets what one deserves. There is nothing wrong with saying/writing that. There HAS to be an admonition/warning to people about doing wrong things like illicit drug use/alcohol use. I lost BOTH biological parents due to alcohol and am unrepentant about my criticism of the consumption of it. Never knew either one of them. Ran a brother-in-law off of my property for bringing beer to my house when all relatives have been told to not do that.

I'm sorry you suffered at the hands of alcoholic parents.

Anne Hecht was abused as a child. She didn't deserve it. Her self-medicating didn't help her. Trashing her for failing to overcome what was done to her is unhealthy.

Don't assume alcohol is your poison and that avoiding it will protect you. Your anger at a complete stranger who died three months ago points to a false sense of security in demonizing alcohol but ignoring other pitfalls.

As for a Biblical voice of reason; from Christ: "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? -Matthew 7:3-5 "
