Well, I said in the post that I knew that he liked his beer. But! Things came to light in recent months -- the man is a full-fledged, MAJOR alcoholic and also regularly takes multiple Rx, etc. etc. etc. He goes thru cases of beer each day...weekend...and blacks-out even.
Obviously his liver and system are SHOT, and he is likely over-run with parasites and candiasis. Terrible thing - once you get to this point, it's a long haul back. You won't be able to cure the addiction w/o eradicating the parasites in a major way.
Very sad. But we all have our own health and life to manage and some people are not teachable. Or, the time is not right. Like the saying goes, when the pupil is ready, the teacher will appear. And not the converse!
