Yep, it is just as bad.. Being drunk is no excuse, but at least it would have been more truthful than "a ghost did it". I sincerely hope charges are pressed against him, and they are held up. Sorry luvie I thought you meant possessed by a demon.. and you actually said - Demon alcohol.......I was ref to all those that use demons and the supernatural as an excuse for doing bad ...I thought that was what you were saying.. .My mistake

I think his excuse for his behaviour speaks volumes about his character and as others have said, the wife needs to call it a day with this one and get out of his way - he is clearly beyond reasoning with and headed for greater troubles.

This is a stupid article honestly. Put a 'bizarre' article in the bizarre section, not a story about a drunken idiot.
