Until one night. I was sitting at home, poured myself another drink around midnight and was about to watch a movie when all of a sudden I didn’t feel so good. I then collapsed to the ground unconscious. I finally realised I can’t drink anymore,” he said. “If I have one drink the docs say I will die. I’m not preaching or anything but just always drink responsibly. I didn’t and look where that got me”.
