Drinking the Wrong Way

Police in California arrested a woman who allegedly was driving under the influence on the wrong side of a freeway when she hit other vehicles, killing six people.

POMONA, Calif. — A wrong-way driver on a Southern California freeway was arrested Sunday after being accused of causing a pre-dawn crash that left six people dead, authorities said.

Olivia Culbreath, 21, of Fontana, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and manslaughter in connection with the early morning crash on State Route 60 in this suburb east of Los Angeles, California Highway Patrol Officer Rodrigo Jimenez said.

"It's horrific," Jimenez told KABC-TV about the crash scene. At least two people were ejected from their cars and the red Chevy Camaro driven by Culbreath was badly mangled.

Authorities said Culbreath was traveling east in the westbound lanes of the freeway around 4:40 a.m. when the Camaro collided head-on with a Ford Explorer. Another vehicle was also involved in the accident, Jimenez said.

Four people were pronounced dead at the scene, and two people died after being taken to the hospital, he said.

Culbreath was in serious condition at Los Angeles County/USC Medical Center with a broken femur and a ruptured bladder, Jimenez said.

"There was evidence of alcohol consumption," he said.

The victims included a 24-year-old woman from Chino and a 24-year-old woman from Rialto, Los Angeles County coroner's Lt. Fred Corral told the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/M3utdK ). Both were passengers in Culbreath's car.

Another victim, a 47-year-old man, is believed to have been a passenger in the Ford Explorer.

While it may be easy to judge this woman for what she had done, I would rather focus on the issue of alcohol consumption. Alcohol is not only the center of this accident, it is also the center of broken marriages, violent behavior and cause of death. If we are just concerned with this one woman it will not bring back the life of all those who had died. It appears it is the drinking that made this woman drive on the other side of the traffic..
 
Now let me tell you this. My brother became binge Beer drinker before he had taken his life in 1995. So if I talk about the danger of alcohol consumption I have seen this with the vision I had at that time. . My brother one night was drunk and argued with both his ex girlfriend and current girlfriend. He took sulfuric acid. He almost had died. But his drinking had never stopped.. I am really surprised after what happened with his lungs he would take another chance to drink beer.. His girlfriend broke up with him cause he refused to get help from Rehab.

So the day after he called her on the phone. He just said’ I love you’ and hung up. Then he took his life on the Golden Gate Bridge. So now every time I see a beer can Budweiser or know that it is around it reminds me how this alcohol made my brother a staggering in walking. One who had troubling tying his shoes. Almost being asked to leave the Bus in San Francisco when we had to get home.

Do you want to end up like this or someone you know? I encourage anyone to get help and yes Pray to God for His help. The Bible is clear about drunkards not inheriting the Kingdom of God. Anyone who disobeys this commandment will get into great trouble in life. I have known others who also drink. Anyone that is a Heavy drinker never has been a successful person. Drinking always caused the worst results. .

A neighbor named Jeff pushed his wife when he was drunk. . She had to call the cops on him.. I have no good stories about drinking. Don't even waste your time drinking on New Years Eve. . . What's the point starting the New Year with a hang over? Hey we are Weight Lifters and we are Christians. And if this is so “We need to be role model examples’.
 
So people ask you why are you not pressured to drink even on New Years Eve?. You say see that Bible. God told us not to do that. As a Lifter I must be like a professional athlete kind of thinker. . . If I truly who I say I am and I am promoting a healthy and strong life style. I keep the liquor out of my system.

Movie stars ruin their image with true life alcoholic problems. . They become the Bums of the World. From Stardom fame to terrible shame. Say no to liquor, it's the right thing to do.
Eph. 5:18
18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,

Lev.10:9
9 “Do not drink wine or intoxicating drink, you, nor your sons with you, when you go into the tabernacle of meeting, lest you die. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations,
