True. I lost a very good friend of mine a few years ago, visited him in the hospital while he was yellow with Jaundice, and saw him two days before he died when he was finally in hospice.
He told me that if he made it through, he would never drink again. He told me how badly he felt that he snuck off so many times to avoid seeing his son to get drunk. I believed he would have done it too, but that was the last straw for him, it was too late.
His son was only 9 years old.
