Worst case, you’ll end up either dying(Cirrhosis, pancreatitis, cardiovascular disease, cancer, etc.), or with wet brain. I’m in my mid 30s, and have seen first hand people my age go down with those - and even more so for the older generation. My father passed at age 49, and every single one of his drinking buddies have also passed away. Unless you’re “lucky” and keel over from a massive heart-attack or stroke, it is a miserable way to go. My step-father, a vet with PTSD, has been sober for 2 years now. He was admitted with all the usual symptoms of impending liver failure - but luckily managed to stay sober. He’d drink maybe 6-10 tall boys a day, and had done so for 10 years straight. The mental difference to us, the people that interact with him daily, is very apparent. He seems much quicker and sharper, is back to being articulate in his speech, doesn’t struggle with finding words, and the list goes on. I’d put all my energy and focus on fixing the drinking problem. You may be physically ok now, but what about 5-10-15 years from now? As I wrote earlier, I grew up with alcoholics - from all walks of life, all with their different drinking habits and preference - they rarely get old. |
