FWIW, I think almost a quarter of all liver transplants in the US are done because of cirrhosis. There may be an additional percentage of patients who have failing livers due to other complications from drugs, but I’m not certain.

Crosby was drinking again - as many alcoholic liver transplant recipients do - and seriously injured someone several years ago. It may have even been a death. I can’t remember the exact details, but the settlement was 7-figures.

My boss wasn’t entitled to a liver because he drank a fifth of the hard stuff daily. How David Crosby got one despite the same circumstances suggest an unfairness. Crosby could afford 10 of them if he wanted.

Yep. $3 Million.

My Grandpa was a huge drinker. Never mean, never drunk or passed out. He just drank beer all day, every day. When he was dying in the hospital, you could hardly recognize him; he was YELLOW and his stomach was so distended he looked like he was about to give birth.

Not a fun way to go and the REASON I limit myself to my Friday Night Martini. ;)
