Didn't this board have like 10 pages about how he died from the covid vax?


I'm just waiting for someone to make the claim that getting the vax leads people to alcoholism.

I knew a young farmer in his mid to late 30s who drank beer from the time he got up til he went to sleep/passed out. You wouldn’t know it to talk to him, he did well farming.


His downfall was he didn’t eat or hydrate much and his liver said goodbye.

Be careful……..

He must have drank a lot but it wasn’t just beer. He was gulping like 151 or moonshine on the reg. But it is crazy for his organs to fail at that age.

This is sad. I guess the guy lived off beer and whiskey all day everyday.

I was riding 15 miles a day, or running three, in 100 degree heat or if it was sleeting in Dallas until I was in my 40's.

How much alcohol does it take to lead to alcohol abuse causing health problems this severe/death?

Was he an alcoholic or just casually drinking and over did it?

I'd have to assume it was chronic use and not alcohol poisoning, because this was the official cause:

I was once an alcoholic. I almost drank myself to death by 38 too. It can absolutely happen. All he had to do was drink heavily, probably daily, starting in his late 20’s/early 30’s. Liver and pancreas can only handle so much abuse. Many people can function very well as an alcoholic and most people may never suspect it’s as bad as it is. It’s a very sad situation for Zimmer.

What were you drinking if I may ask? Ever drink water to dilute it all? 38 seems very young and he was likely on his feet moving around at practices too.

Im not one of the “vaxxed and boosted” believers…

But you have to drink a ridiculous amount of alcohol for a couple decades to destroy your liver and actually die from it

Like a fifth of vodka every day for 20 years, though there is certainly a genetic component and some people can handle more or less than others.

Id like to see actual cause of death on death certificate

I’d be curious to see it as well. But most alcoholics that I know usually start early in life. So if if he started at around 15 or 16, then maybe escalated in his early 20’s that would make sense. Was it reported if he has ever been to any type of treatment or anything? I’ve known a few that have drank themselves to death at a fairly young age.

A few glasses of good whiskey in the early days. Neat. Eventually you make it to the cheapest vodka you can find. Yeah, mix it with Coke, Sprite, juice, whatever you have. Cheap vodka is not so good neat, but you get used to the taste. Do it long enough and consistently, eventually your body start malfunctioning.

It can spiral quickly. He could’ve had alcoholic hepatitis pushing to renal decline or esophageal vareces which caused a bleed.. terrible way to go and a growing problem in society .. from personal experience I was shocked how quickly alcohol can wreck your system once the damage begins.. most people don’t have to worry about it regardless of consumption levels outside the extreme

I read a story on David Feherty and the amount he drank in the midst of his alcohol abuse, and I was amazed that he is still alive. I think that the genetic component is understated in these situations.
