My mate is on over 50 units of alcohol a day and has been for 9 months...?

Question

has been through detox and all the usual and also just come off heroin.... with me now and thinks he only has a few months 2 live,tell me different if you really believe it

Answer 1

No - I can't tell you differently. In two days he/she drinks one month's-worth of anybody else's - that's a recipe for pickled liver if ever there was one. Add heroin to that and you've got a potent cocktail which won't exactly let him/her live for too much longer. Be prepared for the worse unless ALL the drink and drugs stops - completely - and right now. At best, you can then but hope.

Answer 2

Well--- what is he/she Dying of? I am in the field of treatment. Heard a million times that someone was going to die as an excuse to continue drinking/drugging. Rarely has that statement been true.

Answer 3

you need to get him serious help he needs to go for treatment or else its going to kill him I would get him seen to immediately as his life is almost in your hands dont' just sit back and watch help him he needs it and you are probably the only one who cares to help him. if you live in england call the nhs or something.

Answer 4

How do you guess life expectancy?

50 units per day is excessive and he is probably heading for health problems.

Answer 5

My husband drank 2 bottles of wine a day for 6 months and it killed him.  He died  of alcohol induced pancreatitis at the age of 40, so it's possible your friend is on his way out.  Ask him why he wants to destroy himself and all those that love him

Answer 6

well, he obviously doesnt really care how long he has to live, or else he would quit all the drinking and stop killing his liver.  

Answer 7

john r is correct,same at my end
