Just curious, did Ted Kennedy ever have a liver transplant? I`m serious. It`s just I can`t see how a girl drinking for 5 years needs a liver transplant when a guy whose been drinking gallons of whisley, or whatever gasoline he drinks, every minute of every day for 60 odd years can still have anything even resembling a liver. You look at the guys face, it`s always beet red and his gut is out to the moon. He has all the traits of severe alcoholism, the edema in the gut, the red face, the psychotic ramblings, yet I can`t seem to ever remember Teddy ever needing a new liver. What is it, Irish genetics or something? I mean really, how in the name of Jim Beam can that guy still have his own liver?
lol!! Look, speak of the devil. I just did a search on Freep for Ted Kennedy, liver transplant and found a thread on just that..Hmm wonder if he ever got one.

DYK who Keith Richards is? The devil has some power and he protects his own - for a while...
I know of Irish guys who are just like Ted Kennedy. Red faces, huge guts, all the signs you listed. Drinking all the time. Yet they somehow make it to old age. I think it might be in the Irish genetics. Luck of the Irish...
A Kennedy might be able to get a transplant on the sly.
