No Sex Please, We're Drunk
In high doses, alcohol impairs our reaction times, muscle control, co-ordination, short-term memory, perceptual field, cognitive abilities, and ability to speak clearly. But it does not cause us selectively to break specific social rules. The effects of alcohol on behaviour are determined by cultural rules and norms.
Tough love against bullying
A father marched his two children to a police station to have them charged with assault after catching them attacking another teen. The father was so enraged with his kids that he sold his 17-year-old son's car and 15-year-old daughter's horse as further punishment. The pair admitted to picking on their bullying victim because he wore glasses, the same reason their father said he was bullied as a child. The father said following the assault, which left the victim with a broken jaw, his two children would face court next month.

To Serve and Protect
Elderly man falls outside his home. Wife calls paramedics, who help him inside and treat him. He jokingly says if he had a gun, he'd shoot himself. Then, two cops arrive. Guess what happens next? [Via: Reddit.] http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=news/local/north_bay&id=7639987
