It's okay to have a drink from time to time, but for an addicted person? Maybe he was taking medication and the alcohol played havoc with his head... maybe he got scared when he saw his drunk friend asleep and ran away... maybe he thought he would be blamed for that... and in the end this man ran away, was kidnapped, assaulted, run over, etc...
whatever the case
rest in peace
