Perhaps so, but I am sure the drugs did not help the situation - I have met a lot of f**ked up people before, but none that would do that - unless they were high on something (much like the story posted yesterday from my hometown of Columbus, Ohio - man picked up his kid from day care and was so drunk he left him strapped in his car seat all night - The alcohol certainly played a role there...)

Based on your example, would it be prudent, therefore to criminalize alcohol because certain individuals act stupidly in regards to their responsibilities while under the influence.

The answer is no. Why is the answer different when the drug in question is methamphetamine instead of alcohol? It's inconsistent, and it's the inconsistency which I find most abhorrent.
