Boss of mine from my first job passed from health issues from heavy drinking over decades. When I started working with him, he had already gone sober but was having severe issues with his liver. I can recall a number of times when he would damn near pass out while we were traveling. scary stuff. Eventually, he had a liver transplant but finally succumbed to health issues. He was a good dude that loved his sons.

My Father did. He knew what he was doing and still would not accept help. Getting help was sign of weakness to him. He ended up isolating himself from everyone who cared for him. I found him dead in his bed about a week after he passed. Still coming to terms with it.

Yep. Sister-in-law drank herself to death at age 32 back in 2013. She weighed 90 pounds and was putting down a half gallon of vodka a day near the end.

Yes I lost three friends in the past two years to liver failure due to drinking too much. Each went to rehab and couldn't kick it. Died painful deaths in ICU.
How much do you have to drink to get to this point? Are these people drinking a fifth of liquor every day?

Yes.......my brother at 35

I do. He went into liver failure and didn't care to change anything and died.

A guy that frequented a local bar. You'd go in for lunch and a beer, and he'd already be there shite hammered most days. He started noticeably losing weight and becoming more frail over 2 or 3 years and ended up getting found dead in his apartment after no one saw him for a couple of days.
His wife had left him and his kids had stopped talking to him. You could tell he was just waiting around to die.

My bil was diagnosed with cirrhosis and kept drinking off and on for a couple of years. His health got real bad and went into the hospital and they gave him a couple of weeks to live. While in the hospital he caught Covid. He died 3 or 4 days short of the 2 week estimate. His death certificate said he died from Covid..
I was always suspicious on why they tested him for Covid.. I am sure he was in a bad way and any pain would be considered due to the cirrhosis...

No this was another guy, offensive lineman, just happened in the last couple of years. I know who you're talking about though.

Old college frat bro. He was an impressive dude too, sharp looking, wild, funny as hell (that upper level of funny that is actually kinda rare), solid guy. No idea how it went sideways afaik he was married happily, good job, etc.

Some of these folks are probably having a fifth of liquor for breakfast tbh.

Started drinking at 12 and had cirrhosis by 27. That was almost 4 years ago now, and I’m pretty much cured at this point due to no alcohol and living a healthy lifestyle. Still gotta see a gastro twice a year to make sure all is good, but he has told me I’m basically completely cured now.
This is great to hear. I was under the assumption that once you got to the point where you had cirrhosis, the options were liver transplant or death. Do you no longer have cirrhosis? That’s pretty fascinating but good to hear.
I had a guy I worked with die a couple years ago from alcohol poisoning. He never married and lived alone and drank Jack Daniel’s like it was water. Poor guy died alone at his house in his early 40’s

My ex-wife. One evening she laid down on the sofa and went to sleep...bleed to death from an internal bleeding ulcer caused by her drinking.
It's a terrible addiction, you want to save them but you can't. Cost me my first marriage. I don't drink much today because of what I went through with her.

Cirrhosis
I have known a few that died from this due to drinking but I also knew a guy that didn't drink but constantly took sinus medication due to what he claimed was allergies. Never went to the doc to see what the underlying issue was (adenoids, etc) but the meds gave him cirrhosis and killed him. That stuff is hard on your liver especially if you take as much as he did.
