alcoholism ain't nothing to joke about - 5 years ago we buried my best friend's dad - my second father. A rich eccetric man who spent his life covering up his demons and social shyness with Johnny Walker Red and wine - at least a bottle of Johnny a day and a bottle of wine or more for the 20 years I knew him. Of course we all saw him going downhill badly for years - there were a couple of interventions where he went into detox and treatment but they never lasted long. Anyway one day he just went into a stupor - it looked like a stroke - he was 'gone'. Doctors were stumped - they finally diagnosed him with Korsikoff's Syndrom(not sure of the name, begins with K and is Russian sounding) - his brain was pickled - permanently - by the decades of alcohol - with no way back, no cure or treatment - a vegetable essentially until he died a couple of years later.
as for other drugs - there are tons of seriously fucked up 20 and 30 somethings from ectasy - you don't hear about them because they are their families' problem now - their raver days long behind them.
moderation is everything in life - if you don't have the discipline to moderate your own behaviour - get help.
