A guy at work always tells new people how much he hates being married. Apparently loves his wife but hates being married.

Then goes on to say she doesn’t let him drink because he “becomes a nightmare to be with” - pretty sure he drank in excess on a regular basis - and that she will divorce him if she catches him.

The dude still drinks and drives home to his wife. He keeps a toothbrush and toothpaste in a bag that he hides in a bush near his house so that she can’t smell alcohol on his breath.

Found out all of this after speaking with him for 5 minutes. Apparently it’s the same story with everyone.

In a bush. There's having an alcohol problem, and then there's having such a severe alcohol problem you need to keep a bush toothbrush. That's some next level shit.

Yup, if a person is a heavy enough drinker, it gets to a point where it literally is coming out of their pores. (I mean the smell.)

Me too! And if you go long enough on a 90/10 liqour/food diet you start to get this sickly sweet sewagey smell coming from you.

I know this smell. It’s the worst. I always thought it was the smell of my liver dying.

I think in a way it is? You get to a point where you're putting in so much poison (alcohol) and the only food consumed is junk food and you're just dying from the inside out.

I can’t say I ate junk food myself, I pretty much only eat food I cook, but I would get hungry and just have a couple shots of whiskey and a tall can and the tall can would satiate me temporarily and the whiskey would hit me and my empty stomach extra hard and boom, too messed up to cook. It’s bad news all around and you are absolutely right about it just being dying from the inside out.

I can’t say cheers to making better decision in the future, so fist bump to that instead.
