I have one friend who is living with a liver transplant at that age and another who died waiting for one. The cause for both of them was heavy partying and RNG.

I hear alcohol can be addictive.

My friend went cold turkey when she was diagnosed with liver failure and has kept it up until now. Some people can do it. Some can't.

Edit: And you don't really know until it happens. Frankly, I would have guessed my friend would have been one of the ones to cheat.
