Today I am traveling out of town to go and visit with a good friend who is in the ICU of a hospital. Why...? Alcohol,

Trust your own instincts and act accordingly.
Hi Kel,
I'm SO sorry about your friend. My mother's alcoholism killed her in much the same way that you described. Her liver, kidneys and pancreas shut down. Cancer took over and she was dead within weeks. It was a HORRIBLE death - she was in excruciating pain as her insides were eaten away by the cancer.
You and your friend are in my prayers.
