Dakota Culkin, who is the older sister of former child star, Macaulay Culkin, was hit by a car while she was crossing the street in Los Angeles, she was killed. The coroner discovered that she was drunk before she was killed. She was on her way back home after a night of drinking, but to avoid drinking and driving, she walked home instead. This makes it legal because she wasn’t driving and she is over 21 years of age. The cause of her death was “blunt-force trauma”.

While walking home after a late night of drinking at a bar may sound safe, but not always.

I’ve walked all the way home late nights after drinking at a bar in Greenwich plenty of times in the past, and it’s really no fun. Walking home is better than driving while drunk or riding in a car with someone who is drunk though.
