Everyone makes mistakes. Errors in judgment often escalate until a bad situation becomes worse. Adding excessive alcohol or improper drug use into the mix only increases the likelihood of a disaster. Unfortunately, there are times when one bad choice generates more wrong decisions until someone is hurt, arrested, or both.
