A young lady went out for a birthday party in Brisbane recently. She was allegedly under the influence of alcohol, early hours of the morning, had an argument with her friends and stormed off to walk home about 10 klms. She was lying, kneeling in the middle of the freeway when struck by a car. The driver allegedly did not know he had hit a person. He was defamed as a hit and run driver and Police went to seek him out. He allegedly killed himself.
Where were the friends to care for this girl? Who allowed this girl to drink this much? Should trial by media have some responsibility.
Alcohol has a lot to answer for.
Most people wish to deny the statistics related to medical complications, accidents, domestic violence, divorce, loss of work, homelessness, crime related to alcohol misuse.
If we could turn back the hands of time........and this young lady did not use alcohol to celebrate her birthday party, perhaps the outcome for two people and their friends and family would have been different.
Alcohol addiction treatment is available- see your local doctor. Contact Alcoholics Anonymous. Any more than one standard drink in 24 hours, is an alcohol abuse disorder.
