    Police said that the father-son duo would often get drunk and fight with each other. The mother left the home last week when Deepak beat her up.

    I know this will piss people off but alcohol has to be one of the worst drugs. People, and I’ve been there, make horrible decisions when they’re drunk. Obviously not everyone but man, “hold my beer” is a meme for a reason.

      I got older and found out I was more sympathetic to prohibitionist than I thought.

      Alcohol is wild. And it blows my mind how its common that the biggest consumers are 18-30 year olds who barely have any self control. So many lives cut short by bad decisions from a single night.

        I just wish people were more aware of how dangerous alcohol is. You can become so addicted to alcohol that you can die from the withdrawals if you stop cold turkey.

      No, you’re right. Although some people just get sweet and adorable. But most drunk I’ve seen were rather embarrassing or just dangerous. Or both.

      Well it is/can be. But how high on any drug would you have to be to kill your own son over a game? Also he had enough sense to run away later, meaning he was aware of what he did.

      I’ve gotten drunk many times and never gotten anywhere close to killing someone. Maybe the problem isn’t alcohol but bad personalities.
