The untold results of heavy booze consumption....i.e. liver cancer, cirrhosis, etc.

Throw in smoking tobacco and other stuff.

Consider the drug abuse factor as shown below.

Driving under the influence of booze and/or drugs.

Lack of self control can over ride good genetics.

[Enlightened1]

The liver is the ONLY organ that regenerates itself.

A Liver 80% gone can be saved by cutting out the booze and drugs.

The Medical Establishment will never tell you that though.

They rather just cut out most of your Liver instead of giving it a chance to recover.

[Jackson Brown]

They don't keep any stats on long term effects of heavy drinking. I know some 15 friends (some) since high school who died from terminal liver issues - all big drinkers - in their 40s/50s.... the age range the article was about.

Drug deaths are tracked...cigarettes don't take most lives until 60s or older.
