      Depends on how much you drink, how long you have been drinking, whether you eat properly or skip meals and eat junk food, genetics and too an extent, what sort of alcohol you drink.

      .

      Medically trained people will never give you a straight answer on this one.

      To even have a stab at your question, we would have to know, the answers to the above, your current condition and age.

      There is no average for everyone.

    56 seems a popular age (based on purely anecdotal evidence)

    ?CAMRA members usually die suddenly in their 60's. (Judging by the third page of every CAMRA magazine I've ever read)

    Hi Tom, It depends on many factors. Some would say alcohol dependence is no Life at all, so there's nothing to lose after the booze has taken it all away.
