  • RIP to a Friend.

    A good friend of mine, who moved away a few of years ago down to the south of France, died on Tuesday morning from Scirrocis of the liver.

    He was a Whisky drinker, it was always his preferred drink, for the 20-odd years I knew him.

    He was 43.

      Been there, done that. My late friend's beverage of choice was vodka.

        43... Sry for your loss.

        My 2nd daughters' girlfriend, 16 yo, lost her 47 yo father last monday. What's up with these 40-50 yo nowadays, I mean, I am close to 46 and it is getting a bit freakish.

          Sorry to hear you lost a friend.

          As with all drugs, it all depends on the dosing and if he drank whisky for 20 years on a regular basis, it's not really surprising, his liver got destroyed.
          Makes you wonder, why he didn't stop or at least reduced his consumption in time ...
