I don't expect more than 15 more years Do you have any problems from drinking or is it just your health you don't care about?

My bro was on prescribed pain pills and that's one of the things he struggled with. He didn't want to be on them and he'd feel like he was cool to cut his dosage, then he'd really need them one day and unintentionally get fucked up. I found him conked out one day and thought he was dying. Then he started abusing them and shit really got wild.
