Greg is 18 years old and has a drinking problem. He dropped out of high school and doesn't have a steady job but picks up bits and pieces of work when people are hiring for the short term. Recently he was arrested for driving while intoxicated, but before the police stopped him Greg ran a stop sign and got into an accident.
