This just demonstrates the pessimism inherent in today's reporting. I say the beer was partially full.

No word if the driver will face any charges.I have heard of drunk driving but what is the charge for hitting a runaway drunk??
To: Mind-numbed Robot
The pedestrian oughta be charged with drinking while intoxicated.

The poster should be charged with not giving any 10-20 info in the post.
I just found a lot of old ex-FR's, was wondering why so many handles were no longer showing up on my radar.

It was in Texas, as listed in Topic, other then that I have only the info from the article as posted. But does it matter where? An innocent beer was spilled!
To: chance33_98
Its all Busch's fault! Now, this looks like a FR thread. Prepare for the GOP defense crew.

I don't look at the topic, went to your homepage and figured it out. I didn't want to click on the link, some of that stuff can take forever to load.
My patience is being tried as I see old common handles infrequently if at all, and the quality not up to what got me here in the first place.
I even started posting myself, something I resisted (even replies) for many moons.

Is that a Budweiser bottle in the lower right hand corner?

I don't look at the topic, went to your homepage and figured it out. I live in Ohio Myself. But I read newspapers from all over via my website

I like the little puddle under the can. Very dramatic.

Is the can half empty or half full? Or is it a matter of "I'm not properly drunk yet"?

ABC13 - Southwest Freeway - Texas - It was Houston.
