argonautweakend 12/29/18 5:16:39 PM #1:	There's this old guy we call grandpa(70s/80s) who comes in every day and gets a pint of Jim Beam Kentucky Straight. I don't think he has been a lifelong drinker or anything, but every single day for i dont know how long. I think when his wife died he didnt know what to do and took to drinking. Anyways...he didn't come in for a month or two, and we were all worried and thought he might be dead. We have no way to contact him, and while he is a cool customer and nice gentleman we dont actually know him. But then one day last week I see his car on the curb, and go to open the door for him(heavy doors+cane dont mix well). I greet him and everything, but something has changed. He is now up to a 750Ml of Jim a day. that's....not good. I asked my coworkers and they told me he was in the hospital for a bit, now he is out, and they did notice he is buying a 750 rather than a pint(375) almost every day(but clearly he is consuming way more), but they didn't know why. He doesn't look significantly worse, but at his age this isn't good. There's nothing I can do about it because as far as I am concerned I sell it to him and what he does when he leaves is none of my business. I sell a lot of shit to a lot of every day regulars, but this is the first one I think I am actually seeing die in real time. While this isn't my problem, it is still sad. I've never been addicted to alcohol and can drink at my own leisure, but some advice i saw on reddit one time about alcoholism stuck with me: "Get the fuck out NOW" just felt like posting this story, even if Im not sure what the point is. <cite>argonautweakend posted [p:914887187] in I think I ...
