Yes it's true.
I once found him collapsed outside his house, on the pavement, unconscious, with little children skipping and jumping about him like it was play time.
I've many other stories to tell about him. He's been in and out of psychiatric wards for the last two years and just managed to avoid prison but he is on probation.
He hallucinates a man with a scarf who tells him to do bad things and he's overdosed on street drugs and that's messed up his liver too.
Doctor told me his liver can fail at anytime. He is 28 years.
He attacks police when they come to arrest him for being drunk and disorderly but when they show him the videos he can't even remember what happened.
Trust me, don't drink it makes things much worse.
Find something else to make yourself comfy. I like to read books.
