so for all you that don't think you can die from drinking too much alcohol, i want you know that my uncle steve died yesterday approximately 4 am eastern standard time.
i want you shithead boozehounds to know that if you abuse alcohol and you have to go through what my uncle went though - which was liver failure - you will NOT be eligible for an organ donation. i also want you to know that you NEED your liver in order to live. yeah, you fucking need it. and if you can't get another one after you've fucked up this one you were born with, then you're GOING to die. that's it. when you start turning yellow, that's a good sign that not only has all your bile (read: WASTE) built up to the point where it's just below the skin's surface, but that it's too late. cut back on the beer, wine, and hard liquor, and find something else to do. maybe you could live life a little bit SOBER. or is that too hard? maybe you can't handle reality.
so if you like the idea of partying hard every weekend like every college fuck-up in springfield missouri, the chances are that you're going to be the next uncle steve.
but, i also want you to know that popping pain relievers is the leading cause behind liver failure. this includes tylenol, advil, excedrin, and ibuprofen. this is also what my uncle was doing - abusing ibuprofen instead of seeing a chiropractor. kids, if you hurt that bad - there's something wrong. the end. you need to see someone, i don't care if you hate all medical practictioners and want to stab every last doctor's beating heart. you handle yourself with something like a pill, and you're going to wind up worse than what you were. that's really all there is to it.
i'm pretty bitter right now. i kind of want to cry, i mostly want to hurt something. not because i'm upset over the death of a family member, but because i know that even after death, NO ONE is going to stop. no one is going to say "hey, people DIE from this, i should cut back." no one. and then it happens again. and again.
and yeah, this is why you should pay attention. you might learn something, kiddies.
