Two men who were acquaintances of mine died recently from drink.
They were not hobos who had been abandoned by society. Neither were they lacking the intelligence to understand the risks of excessive alcohol consumption. In fact, both were brilliant in their respective fields, yet drink killed them at an early age.
One attended university in my time and I wondered if we have all conspired to create a culture of acceptance around consuming alcohol. At the time, like now, having a lot to drink was deemed part of being one of the lads.
