RED OR WHITE? –
Oct. 7, 2022 – Jeffrey was not only an alcoholic, but he was a lifelong alcoholic — he had reportedly started drinking quite heavily during his early teenage years itself as a way to cope with his sexual identity. It actually went to such an extent that he was apparently known to show up at high school drunk, covertly consume his vice in classes, and even keep bottles in his locker for quick, easy access. It’s also imperative to note alcoholism runs in the maternal side of his family, according to the Joe Berlinger-directed documentary series; it’s significant as genetics play a heavy role in addiction. effrey did enroll at Ohio State University in the hopes of majoring in business in August 1978 — six weeks after his very first homicide — yet his drinking led him to drop out within three months. He then enlisted in the army around January 1979 at his father’s behest, who believed the innate discipline would help his son’s habits, but his off-duty alcohol abuse simply worsened over time.
