We live in a culture that promotes drinking, but when stuff like this happens, everyone goes silent.

[@robbycole7047]

18 beers is solid. I usually only drink 8 beers.

[@GottaBKiddin]

Alcohol has existed for thousands of years in a majority of cultures. There is still no evidence he was drunk, until we see the bloodwork results, or surveillance of him closing a massive tab right before the accident. 18 beers 12 hours before, plus the hours it took to drink them, wouldn’t cause this type of accident. This is what happens on lots of liquor right after leaving the bar, not beer 13 hours later.

[@justsaying3729]

Exactly, just like cigarettes, they make drinking look glamourous. And as you have said, everyone goes silent because who wants to speak out again drinking. Alcohol and drugs destroy lives and families. Alcohol is as bad as Drugs. thank you for not being afraid to point this out.

[@williambeatty5779]

American Culture often glorifies drunkenness such as The Spring Break tradition, Fraternity hazing, etc. For some college students getting drunk is the pinnacle of pleasure in many ways.

[@bouchraoudghiri9020]

[@jikook7457]

Instead of waiting until catastrophic events like this happen, all states need to get tough on this 💩! What is going on in this country that we keep letting drunk drivers go? A bar owner who is the friend of a friend, had 8 EIGHT drunk driving convictions and STILL WALKED FREE!

how so? people have pressed down on the wrong pedal. unless he made threats to the nail salon it wasn't intentional and until the news comes out that he knew the owners and he was in conflict with them then i continue to think this was an horrific crash as a result of drunk driving.

There an Asian nail salon, about 7 mile from my house. I use to go to Panera Bread, which is a few businesses down, so I would see the 2 Asian women, walking into their salon around 7am. It appear like a meditative line of work. In the 70's, they have dishwashing detergent commercial, and Palmolive 'so gentle, you can soak your hand in it.' Hand floating, restful. So. This dude crash into the nail salon. Suspect so quick to offer the truth about drink 18 beer. What a cop should want to know, is the something he hiding behind the admission of guilt. If criminal not hiding anything, he not a criminal. 4 dead. He a criminal. Find out what he hiding about this crime. Was this intentional?
