Pub fun has consequences

Thu., March 28, 2019

I was so sad to see the article on March 18 regarding pub crawls and hangovers. So sad as my husband would have loved that celebration, but ended up dying of alcohol-induced dementia last year. It is a very sad and ugly way to go.

My son died two months later after being hit by a drunk driver running a red light.

It may sound like fun to hear and attend the bar hops, but one must realize that there can be so many consequences to this.
