Sad news

It seems that people should just not drink and drive. Joe was three times the legal limit when he was hit. Had he not been so drunk he probably would have died at the seen.
And just last night another friend of mine was killed in an accident seriously injuring his passenger after leaving the same bar. One week after Joe's tragic accident.
Maybe the bartenders should serve alcohol a little more responsibly. And most of all people should never drive after drinking!
