Yeah, he's for sure a cautionary tale. I've got 7 years sober now, but I was drinking HARD for over 20 years. Blacking out more and more and getting sicker in the mornings. Since I quit several of my drinking friends have died from it. Dying late 30s, early 40s from nonstop partying. JMV lasted a real long time. I've known quite a few old drunks who just keep plugging along.
I remember he looked so rough in Buffalo '66. That photo of him missing a leg is horrific. I'm not gonna go that way. Pure poison. You could almost even see it in his Hooper character; up drinking all night with Burt Reynolds. You could tell he genuinely loved it, even just a scene in a movie.
Didn't he go on Howard Stern and say he wasn't drunk? Sad stuff.

This. I hope the poor fool changes his mind.
