Yeah, and he is going to cop the consequences for that.
What will almost certainly go unrecognised is the likelihood that he is struggling to cope with something and has done the all too macho male thing of self-medicating in an irresponsible fashion. We've seen this kind of pattern in RL all too often, the pressure gets to blokes, or they have other stressors in their lives, and they implode in some way rather than reaching out for help, the most acute example of this pattern in recent memory being Paul Green, but there are many cases that are less acute and essentially completely unknown by the public.
One of the reasons most of this stuff is unknown is because of the way the general public comes crashing down on them when they stuff up. Certainly sometimes it is just sheer stupidity, but for every time it is, there is going to be at least 1 other case where it is someone who isn't coping well, and when that is the case, they are even less inclined to seek the proper help after copping it from all sides from people who wouldn't know them from a bar of soap.
