FYI, Justin did not have a drinking problem. The events that went on his last night contradict who he was. I believe the environment that Justin was in played a major role in his decision to drink as much as he did, however much that was. It seems to me that alcohol poisoning is so prevalent among the teens and young adults. Why is there not more information about it like there is with drinking and driving? College students are synonymous with binge drinking, the exact cause of alcohol poisoning(rapidly drinking 5 drinks in a row). This is not who Justin was. He was not a hardcore drinker and not one to be out of control. He was no saint but he was spiritually grounded and faithful. We thank God for his friends that brought him to Christ. Now we can only imagine what it was like for Justin when he saw His face. Justin, our hearts are aching that you are not here. We will miss you forever. Te queremos.
