Says its a big problem because they spend their government checks on booz, dont work and just sit around and drink all day. You don't have to end up like that.
He actually died from an accident caused by alcohol. He had epilepsy also, but had a habit of having falls (he had bad mobility due to spinal arthritis) when he was drunk. He fell, a got an undiagnosed bleed on the brain, fell again a few days later and hit his head in the same spot and died there and then. Was found the following day.
I've had incidences of hurting myself when drunk (falling down stairs amongst other things), I can just see myself going in a similar way if I continue
