Yeah, I had a high school friend die from it. 50 years old. HEAVY drinker. Several bottles of vodka a day, and his liver gave up. He was a great guitar player as well. He was playing EVH, (his idol) note for note IN HIGH SCHOOL. He later just gave it up, chose the bottle. I started down that path myself, but I'll have 8 years of sobriety later this year. It's a destructive drug.
