My father died in much the same way. He was so yellow and bloated we couldn't even see his knees or ankles. By the time all that happens, it's too late to save them. If he wants a beer, let him have it.
Yep, that's about the long and short of it. He says he's determined to at least cut down but in reality it's never going to happen in the long term. We're wondering why in the heck he's even trying and we are sort of glad he is but if he wants the beer back, no one's going to tell him no...
