I once knew a man who drank so much that he had to have a liver transplant. The day he got home from the hospital, he paid some kid to go to the liquor store and buy a pint of bourbon.
It was a long time ago and so I don’t recall exactly how long after that he died. But it wasn’t too long.
I would guess that each person has some degree of variability. I don’t know. But I think so.
Bottom line? I doubt they have very long. I won’t guess because I wouldn’t want to cause you any distress.
But, you should be able to Google that. No?
(Barney Google wit da Goo Goo Googley Booze … No?)
I’m just J/K although it prob is not something to joke about.
Thank you for this most helpful comment. I wish I knew more but my questions are met with answers that are apathetic or subject-changing or which indicate he doesn’t know/remember/I need to ask someone else.
A pity. The fate of alcoholics, if they fail to find sustained sobriety, is generally one of jails, institutions, and eventual premature death. My condolences.
