According to the local news in Raleigh, the alleged killer, Dr. Cook, had been drinking all afternoon on the golf course and then had two more drinks at a pub later that evening. He left the pub at 8:15, and the crash occurred 15 minutes later.

Seriously, how hard is it to call a cab? There is absolutely no excuse for driving drunk. What a senseless and avoidable tragedy... My prayers are with the Shapiro family!
