re: A guy told me that before he stopped drinking, he was killing a fifth of Jack a day.

I know two personally in Baton Rouge who drank like that for over 2 yrs straight.
One is far away from here and sober. But only after a major spiral to rock bottom and multiple seizures.
The other is dead.

Were dead man's initials JL, like a recent AG turned Governor?

A friend of mine passed away a couple of years ago, he was killing a handle of Stoli every 2 days or so.

It was incredibly difficult to watch such an intelligent and capable person kill himself that way.
