Aside from the unfortunate personal aspects of this story, I find statements like this informative , reflective of our collective mindset about alcohol (a drug) versus all those other dreaded drugs. I have no idea what all went on during their "night of heavy drinking" and don't really care, just find it curious that the drinking is cited as contextual info on the way to speculating that an anti-smoking drug was the culprit. Eons of human experience with alcohol leading to violent reactions in some people notwithstanding.

>Friends of a popular Dallas musician killed early Monday are at a loss to explain what caused him to spin out of control, beat up his girlfriend and try to kick in her neighbor's door after a night of heavy drinking.

Now they're wondering whether a pill that Carter Albrecht had recently started taking to quit smoking may have sent him over the edge. But there is no hard evidence that the drug causes bouts of rage.

"I really believe it was the drug," said his girlfriend, Ryann Rathbone. "He would have never been abusive toward me, never, ever. He and I had a very peaceful, loving relationship. He and I loved each other so much."<
