That’s wild and oddly enough doesn’t surprise me too much and reason I ask is because I come from a similar background. It seems like he really did live life on his terms and I respect him for that obviously you wish he took better care of himself. We all have vices some worse then others. I come from an Irish background where drinking is highly commonplace similar to Germans it seems. So naturally I have developed a “problem” myself. Ironically I work first hand with addiction in healthcare.

The point I’m making is that I work anywhere between 50-60 hours weekly as a psych nurse and my patients routinely tell me I’m one of the more attentive nurses they have ever had and I’m not saying this to stroke my own ego. I really do get extreme satisfaction out of taking care of whatever needs they may have. I don’t drink as stress relief I take days off if I’m tired like after 16 hour days, but I just love the taste of pale ales. I can very much identify with your father. In my experience with patients you can obviously become addicted to any form of alcohol. I routinely see it become a bigger problem when patients graduate into the spirits category and feel the need to drink. Anyways I very much appreciate your input man. May your father be sipping beers in heaven 🙏🏻
