A person who is drunk has no control and is capable of all types of things they wouldn't normally do when sober.
Drunkeness is a major factor in many crimes of violence!
I know - like - talk a lot - that's what happens to me. I start talking and then it doesn't stop, hehehehehe - pretty soon, I've done said it all
Well -that's my biggest crime when I get drunk, then I fall asleep. I guess I'm no fun.
I know what you are saying, though, there are people who should not drink because they get out of control and often hurt others. Those people know who they are though. Anything can be bad in excess, eating too much and getting obese is bad for you. I think personal responsibility is in order - why hang a finger pointing Jesus over people's heads when they should be able to figure this stuff out for themselves.
