All I have to say is good. Fuck this woman (not literally she doesn't need to get laid). I drink and have been drunk many a times, never in that stupid inebriated state have I EVER thought to murder someone or try and cause them harm. Do dumb shit? Absolutely I'm a drunk fool so you give me a bucket, a empty street and a fuel and lighter I'm likely gonna kick a flaming bucket down the street. But to hurt someone or seek a fight etc? No. I'm still able to keep my morality and decision-making under control over those things.
That's uh, pretty specific with the flaming bucket...
That's because that's something I've done when I was 21 π we played flaming bucket soccer. It did NOT end in disaster luckily.
"Man did you see Mafflez's goalkeeping skills last night?? That dude was on FIRE!!"
That was my buddy Matt actually XD his left Jean leg caught fire, but yea I've done stupid but fun stuff.
You could hurt someone with a flaming bucket though.
Oh for sure I could. The difference between myself and my friends doing this drunkenly is it was a dead end street with only his house and no vehicle traffic. And while Matt did slightly catch fire, we wouldn't have purposely hurt someone. The lady in the article was said to get increasingly unruly and belligerent. Not how I operate.
Now say we'd caused a house fire or any fire for that matter I'd have fully accepted any punishment for the severity of whatever had happened. Just who I am. I fuck up I own it. Even drunk me knows not to punch someone or harm someone unless I'm in danger.
So no judgement but for me: drunk fool doing dumb shit β decision making under control. To each there own but shit can spiral out of control rapidly. Be safe out there.
If you do dumb shit while drunk, you still chose to get drunk. Your fully-aware mind is perfectly capable of grasping that you getting drunk will make you do dumb shit, so imo you're fully responsible for your actions while drunk.
I mean I suppose but when I drink now I rarely get to a state I cannot retain reason and think somewhat critical. This was mostly when I was in my 20s. But I would argue being drunk does NOT at all absolve me or anyone else from consequences of actions we made.. even impared. That's why I agree with this woman's sentences. She absolutely deserved what she got.
