Detailed short video about what happened in the ER to a chronic alcoholic

I found this short video on youtube. It details the medical procedures done in the ER for someone that was in severe need of medical aid due to the effects of chronic alcoholism. First time I watched it, I felt awful and couldn't watch the entire thing. Its not gory, but detailed about the damage alcohol does to the human body. I decided to post this video for everyone to see so that we could know what potentially can happen if we continue to drink.

Just watched - Thanks.
Definitely a good reminder of the real dangers ahead if we carried on drinking!

Important to remember that consequences don’t keep one sober/clean if they’re an alcoholic.. If they did people would just stop.

Amazing video but I do believe that 3 liters a day is bs, he would have died way before that...

Yeah, kind of risk losing credibility when you use sensationalistic titles. Unless he weighed as much as Andre the Giant with the tolerance of John Bonham, no one can drink 3 liters of 40% ABV without dying, let alone do it every day.
