I don't know where you got that. tkachiev is not really old enough to have drunk his liver off. he's still got at least 10-20 years of heavy boozing to get there.
Originally posted by CCNoobsure it did. you can bet your ass that teenager's been doing something much more toxic than alcohol to finish his liver off. probably sniffing something. OR he has some kind of liver disease unrelated to alcohol.

with a healthy liver, you can't drink enough to kill it without dying from respiratory paralysis first. alcohol is simply not toxic enough.
Originally posted by wormwoodYou should read the article with a pair of magnifying glasses. He destroyed his liver after a weekend of 30 cans of lager. There is no mention of sniffing or anything else in the article.

Why are you on the defensive when alcohol abuse is mentioned? You don't happen to down too many units do you? When people start being un-nerved by stories like this it could mean a "close call to home" was made. 😉
Originally posted by wormwoodYeah, good point. I was trying to find a link to the eastern european grandmaster who died recently of liver failure due to alcohol abuse, but couldn't find it quickly and so made do with Mr De Vere without reading it carefully enough.
"He died of tuberculosis..."

Tell me if alcohol is not listed as causing acute liver failure http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_liver_failure
no need to get personal. it does seem strange that you can destroy your liver with light beer in one weekend. it should get a ?! notation. 🙂

Originally posted by CCNoobI drink maybe once a month. my mother was an alcoholic and passed away a year ago. I have no reason to be defensive, in fact quite the opposite.

the article is obviously omitting facts either to paint a picture of a poor kid struggling against the evil system, or (more likely) the real background to the case is kept hidden because it would affect the kid's chances of getting the liver and cause insurance problems.
there's no way the story about liver failure over two days of pretty normal weekend partying is true. it's like claiming a ufo abducted him and experimented on his liver.

Originally posted by wormwoodthe west of Scotland and Ireland has the worst rates of alcohol abuse i think in Europe. It used to be the Finns i think (perhaps you can verify this wormwood), but they somehow managed to turn things around!
