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

I was one of these. I was drinking a liter of liquor a day to not have seizures. One day I was yellow and they thought I might end up needing a transplant. It’s been about 4 and 1/2 years now and I’m quite healthy today. Getting to the point where you drink that much is literal hell. Very grateful to be alive today.
