I'm not absolving him of any guilt here, as we are ultimately responsible for what we do. But I think it is time we as a society reckon with alcohol and the role it plays in assaults, murders, rapes, etc. Alcohol is a much harder drug than people think because it is normal in our culture. Imagine if it was a new drug, and you were out with a buddy who was doing it for the first time - you may witness him starting fights, puking, falling over, attempting dangerous stunts (hold my beer), etc... then the next day, he's depressed, has a splitting headache and feels shame for his behaviour... I think you'd steer clear of that drug.
