Like the Great One Jackie Gleason once said: "I am not an alcoholic, I am a drunkard. There is a difference." If an alcoholic kills himself, it is not because he is an alcoholic but because of other reasons. When someone is a drunk, there is no pain. There is no depression. There is only glee. Yes, alcohol is a depressant, but it lasts only for a few hours in the form of a hangover, and usually the victims will is too shot to do anything else but sleep. Saying someone kills themselves because of alcohol is like saying someone kills themselves because they feel too good. It just does not exist. Drugs on the other hand is a different matter. I don`t care what anyone says, but I truly believe Sandy Hume was murdered, most likely by cocaine being put into his drink. A cocaine down will put anyone into a suicidal state if enough is given.
Believe what you will.
You have revealed yourself to be someone for whom facts are meaningless.
