You hear this sometimes “oh Jimmy? Yeah he drank himself to death after his wife died” But this actually possible? Does the body reach a point where it can’t process alcohol at a certain point?

You slowly destroys your liver by scarring it, the scarred tossue doesnt function properly. Your liver is responsible for a myriad of vital bodily functions such as acting as a filter for your blood, to remove toxins like ammonia and bilirubin. It also processes sugars, especially frustose, and is the only organ that can do so.
Generally what happens is the blood slowly toxifies which starts to damage your other organs. This is called sepsis. My wife is a nurse and has had many alcoholic patients, whose brains have completely been destroyed as a result of liver damage.
Basically you slowly poison yourself to death with blood toxins, once the liver fails.
