Thai Man Dies After Surviving on Beer Alone for Over a Month
A man in Rayong, Thailand, died surrounded by over a hundred empty beer bottles after shunning food and living on the alcoholic drink alone for over a month.

Last week, rescue workers from the Siam Rayong Foundation were called to a house in the Ban Chang district of Rayong to help a man who had reportedly suffered a seizure and later became unconscious. Unfortunately, by the time they arrived on the scene, the patient had already passed away. He was identified as 44-year 44-year-old Thaweesak Namwongsa, a divorced local man and father to a 16-year-old boy. According to the teenager, Namwongsa had been drinking only beer for over a month, and when he came home from school one day, he found him having a seizure in his bed, surrounded by empty beer bottles.

When rescue workers arrived on the scene, they found over 100 empty beer bottles neatly arranged on the bedroom floor with only a narrow path between them, which allowed the man to get in and out of his bed. The man’s son told police that he cooked hot meals for his father every day when he came from school, but he refused to eat anything and had been living on beer alone for over a month.

Although the man’s son didn’t know about any underlying health condition he might of had, he did mention that Thaweesak Namwongsa had taken refuge in drinking to get over a divorce. It is suspected that this emotional strain may have led him to replace food with beer.

While rich in calories, beer lacks essential nutrients, and relying on it as a food replacement poses serious risks, including nutrient deficiency and liver damage, because of its alcohol content. Health experts warn that beer should be consumed in moderation. That being said, some people have been known to live on beer alone for over a month, especially before Lent.

he'd probably been drinking daily for much longer than that and died of plain old DTs. giving up food altogether is just a late stage of a protracted drinking problem.

He probably died of complications arising from sodium deficiency, organ swelling and such. There's basically no salt in beer, and he's drinking literal gallons of water every day for over a month. The actual alcohol probably didn't contribute as much as the sheer nutrient imbalance.

Yeah, lack of appetite is a symptom of liver disease. If you want to survive beyond your 40s as a hardcore alcoholic, you need to eat real food and take vitamins. Alcohol destroys your bodies ability to absorb nutrients, so you have to compensate.
Also yeah, if you’ve been drinking heavily for a long time, and stop suddenly, you can have withdrawals that can cause seizures and kill you (delirium tremens). You have to taper off gradually.

Monks used to survive on homebrewed beer because it was basically liquid bread, it had the same nutritional profile as bread but with probiotics from the yeast. Modern, filtered beer is devoid of nutrients though. Plus alcohol has a negative effect on Vitamin B1 and B12 levels, among other nutrients, which fucks up your nervous system and can possibly lead to stroke.

No, you're right. My mistake, I rarely use the word. Probably because everyone's got a short fuse nowadays.

US president Ulysses S Grant for a ticket for a speeding horse when he was President around DC. Since it was Grant there’s a near 100% chance he was drunk at the time

there had been laws against driving drunk since the early 1900s, the '80s just made harsher penalties for it and standardized all state laws to the same legal drinking age so that teenagers would stop getting themselves killed driving to neighboring states with lower minimum ages.
