I've been drunk a few times. I said stupid things. I ended up in bed with people whom I should never have looked at, but was still aware enough for it to be consensual. I never beat anyone up.
Alcohol is an excuse, not a reason.
I agree with Zyobt; he does seem pathetic. Someone who was supposed to be a huge star and can't get a job in the NBA. Never trained for anything else. He's still young, healthy except bad knees, and unless he's a dreadful financial manager, rich. He could do what Sam Bowie did, pick up his life and be thankful for what he has. He's not a kid any more.
I hope the woman recovers, physically and mentally. I hope that jail time is a wake up call for Oden.
