My wife's grandfather drank a 5th a day for 20 years. Gramps finally got sober and stopped drinking at age 65. He lived to be 85.

did he stop drinking when his wife passed away since it was no longer necessary?

No, she was 12 years younger than him and is still alive and spending his money.


PS I just asked my wife and she said he drank longer than 20 years and even after 65 he didnt stop completely but just cut down on the hard stuff.

I have a neighbor who’s done it every day for 40 years, I’m truly amazed he’s still alive but I think his mind is starting to go a little.

Tell “your friend” to fix it.
One of the only sensible posts ITT.

BRB being chained to a substance to do normal functions (work, sleep, eat, etc.)
BRB going into withdrawals and likely ending up in a hospital or dying
BRB malnourished
BRB eventual DT’s
BRB feeling like chit all the time and constant anhedonia due to alcohol screwing with your reward system
I could go on and on...

the real damage from drinking is the quality food/nutrients that it displaces

true alkies barely eat and are deficient in several nutrients as a result

over time, that causes real degeneration srs

i knew of two people that died in their 40s from liver issues from drinking

one guy was ALWAYS drunk or buzzed every time i saw him, every time. He didnt work and mooched off my aunt.

i think it is luck of the draw, a fifth seems hardcore to me but i barely drink, some russians probably laugh at that, some people have probably died young at that rate.
