Another tragedy that WOULD not could, have been prevented if neither party had been drinking. However, nobody will focus on yet another 100% preventable tragedy that happened as a result of impaired judgement due to alcohol consumption. But, of course I’m wasting my breath, because everybody loves a toddy or 10 from time to time. Wake up! Alcohol is THE BIGGEST KILLER IN US, hands down, not to mention the impact it has in homes across America every day… I hope this young man knew Christ, and is RIP alongside Him.
