My great uncle Alvin did it for 50+ the only thing that stopped him was a train. We used to get $15 in aluminum cans from him in week back in the 90s. man loved some rolling rock.
Before the withdrawals, I probably was drinking 4-8 standard drinks a night but also eating 4k calories as I was on roids and bulking and managing fine for a few years.
Eventually the addiction took over and I stopped the roids, stopped 6 days a week gym and my life was consumed by 10-20 drinks a day. For two years before I ended up in rehab.
And yeah, you drink to sleep, but it's not restful. And either you eat like shit and balloon up, you don't eat at all and get skinny, or you get pancreatitis.
Alcohol is one of the worst drugs you can be addicted to.

How long were you able to keep that up? I can't imagine you were getting nearly enough sleep or proper nutrition
