Salman
Khan's
2002
hit
and
run
case
has
become
a
life
lesson
for
all,
people
who
till
now
took
alcoholism
lightly
are
double
checking
their
lifestyle.
The
actor's
addiction
to
alcohol
led
to
him
killing
a
man
who
was
sleeping
on
the
footpath.
Had
he
not
been
drunk
to
that
extent
or
had
to
not
got
involved
in
drink
and
drive,
Salman
would
have
been
a
free
man
today.
I
am
not
saying
he
is
guilty
of
the
charge,
I
am
just
stating
the
case
details.
So
when
the
actor
got
sentenced
to
5
years
of
jail,
people
all
over
the
country
learned
a
lesson
from
him
as
to
not
drink
and
drive.
Since
he
is
a
big
star
and
role
model
to
many,
his
life
status
has
taught
a
tough
lesson
to
those
who
presently
indulge
in
alcoholism
and
think
that
is
enjoying
life.
There
are
many
Bollywood
celebrities
like
Salman
Khan
who
ended
up
paying
a
hefty
price
for
their
addiction
to
alcohol.
While
some
committed
crimes
like
Khan,
others
ended
up
killing
themselves.
All
in
all,
alcoholism
doesn't
do
any
good
and
who
better
to
learn
from
than
our

ruined
their
