I can't even grasp the amount of grief that his family must be suffering. Any loss of life of this nature is just tragic. That being said, his last facebook post as of yesterday evening was an open invitation to friends to drink with him at a bar downtown, accompanied with a picture of him drinking. Who'd have thought that in a few hours he would pass away?
Do you think if he hadn't have been consuming alcohol this tragedy would not have occurred? I can't say. For all I know he could have been drinking non alcoholic beer and been there solely for the social experience, but I tell you one thing, just the very implication that drinking could have played a factor in this fatal accident has put quite the fright in me, as I'm definitely one to enjoy a drink or two during my free time. I think I'm going to rethink my habits...
