One of the first friends I made in college was a friend with CF. I didn't know what CF was. He was very mature for our age and generally a very nice, happy, caring person. Got internships, studied with us. Went to bars with us but never drank because he couldn't. He had stories about how Make-a-Wish foundation has been dragging their feet not to give him his wish since his childhood.

He would take his enzymes, do the vibrating jacket treatment. He graduated and got a full time offer from a nice company. As he was relocating, he picked up some infection and passed away in a few weeks. None of us expected it. This was months before I heard of the approval of Trikafta.

Never had a problem drinking. (So much so that I had to quit a few years ago)

It was more of an I don't want to risk it kind of thing. He did taste it a few times towards the last few years of college.
