pretty ****ty way to start the new school year

this was on the front page of the state news today.
“They were both drinking — definitely heavily enough — a half gallon between the two of them,” said Chris Bender, a physiology junior, who was friends with both victims and Barton’s roommate.
i dont like this quote however, "They were both drinking — definitely heavily enough — a half gallon between the two of them,” said Chris Bender, a physiology junior, who was friends with both victims and Barton’s roommate.
how could someone let ANYONE drive that drank that much is beyond me, let alone they're not even 21 so ANY drinking involved would mean DUI, etc, beyond the fact of possibly killing someone else/oneself, which i guess happened.
still terrible news regardless of who was at fault.
