 And this is what he said. Alcohol is a really bad drug. You know, 50% of murders take place in an alcohol-fueled environment. Either the victim or the perpetrator or both is drunk. It's almost the sole cause of domestic abuse. It's almost the sole cause of so-called date rape. If you dig into criminal behavior deeply enough, well, hell, you don't have to dig much at all before you find alcohol. It's also the only drug we know that actually makes people more aggressive. So, yeah, alcohol is bad news, and it can turn perfectly good people into quite the impulsive and dim-witted monsters.
