This is a case of beer potomania, which is a very specific case of hypotonic hyponatremia. Humans need solute in order to produce urine. These solutes are predominantly sodium, potassium and urea, along with others.
Beer contains little to no sodium or potassium. Drinking only 50 beers daily for weeks causes solute loss, on top of vitamin deficiency and poor nutrition.
Slowly as sodium is depleted, more volume from beer is accumulated in the body.
Beer contains water, alcohol and carbohydrates, the latter which induces an insulin response in the body to prevent muscle catabolism.
Muscle catabolism could count as protein that would produce urea, but because of insulin response, it doesn't happen, further exacerbating solute loss.
The accumulation of water in the body and depletion of solute leads to chronic hyponatremia. This is because the kidneys need solute exchange in the process of urine production. If these solutes are absent, minimal urine is produced, and the urine that is produced is maximally dilute (eg low specific gravity) Neurologic sequelae from low sodium presence in blood include seizures and is an emergency.
In this patient, it wasn't clear whether he was suffering withdrawal syndrome, chronic hyponatremia, or both. In the case as it happened, the hospital ran out of medicines for the SE because it was so frequent, and needed to borrow twice from neighboring hospitals.
Osmotic demyelination syndrome appears to have a higher risk in patients who have more electrolyte abnormalities and metabolic derangements. Please see references for more information.
These cases are patients who I, or my colleagues have seen. They are de-identified and many instances have been presented in more depth in an academic setting.

Damn, didn't know that you were a full blown alcoholic!
you’re even extremely attractive whenever you’re portraying a 42yr old alcoholic
I was an alcoholic for over 20 years, when started having epileptic attacks I was forced to stop.
I am happy now to be clean for 8 years now.
Keep it up😁
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰👍❤️
good to hear man!
Youre the man!
That's awesome. Keep at it!! 10 days in detox scared the shit outta me, thought I was gonna die. I have over two years now.
I lost a friend from alcohol withdrawal at 56. He decided he was gonna turn his life around, stopped cold turkey after drinking at least 3 glasses of whiskey a day for 30 years; sometimes more but never less. His brain swelled and he never woke up. He went to sleep on day 3 of sobriety and never woke up.
He should have talked to his doctor.
that's so sad !
Alcohol is one of the few drugs where going cold turkey can kill you, worse than heroin but few care to face this fact.
So sad, but yes ,never quit alcohol cold turkey. Wthdrawals an be fatal
Withdrawal from alcohol can kill you. Withdrawal from heroin can't kill you, but you'll wish it would. To get heroin addicts to quit, the government has authorized that they be given Methadone. Methadone withdrawal CAN kill. Sounds to me like they just made a bad situation worse.
@@caroljo420 what about Suboxone, I thought Suboxone was approved recently
Was 9 years and three days sober. Going through a divorce I fell off the wagon and within 6 months was drinking a half gallon of vodka in 48 hours or less. I’m now 8 days sober that being said don’t ever get comfortable always remember the hell you put yourself through! Stay grateful stay sober, to drink is to die for a true alcoholic.
how’s it going now? im just glad you’re doing well!
I hope you are still doing well 💜💜
Glad you posted that you’re doing well. I have a friend who is an alcoholic and it is sad because he’s one of the nicest and most talented people I know. Stay your path and try not to let life’s stressors get to you. Take care.
Stay healthy buddy - stick too it , all my best. I can't do 8 days myself so much respect. I live minute by minute ? Can't do well that way. Right now I can't because I lost the few family and close friends I had, even my fiance in 2020. None were Overdoses or suicide or COVID ,it just all hit at once , then half a year later after losing 6 family and friends, my dog died. And I was off to drinking oblivion.
Hope you're well, random internet stranger.
"he told them he was going to get some bread and snacks for the fish, but he never came back" ah yes, the classic with some twist

My father was an alcoholic who smoked cigarettes. He died in 1987 from a combination of cirrhosis of the liver and emphysema. My oldest brother died in 2010 from emphysema (I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy). My other brother died of cirrhosis. They both are deeply missed, but I and my son are the only family members still alive. I quit drinking and smoking 32 years ago, and my son quit smoking a year ago! I'm now 70, and quitting smoking was THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I did for my health in my life.
Congratulations, my friend, and congrats to your son as well
I am proud of you.
Glad you live ❤️
I had a friend. After his parents died from a plane crash, he became alcoholic. A year later, his wife divorce him. He drank more and more, until just two years after his divorce, he developed scarring of his liver and died the day after he received dialysis. Most alcoholism derived from psychology. Please take care of your mental health and be honest with yourself that you need love and care from others to get you through your alcoholism before it is too late.
Well aren't you from a cozy little world to think everyone has someone to love them and can access mental health care. Not all alcoholism is psychological. Most is just immediate gratification of feel good. Just because one uses tragedy as their excuse doesn't mean it applies to everyone else. All drunks have fabulous excuses in their twisted little brains. I know from experience.
@@cincin4515 i hate to break it to you buddy, but delusions are psychological. so its still a psychological condition

As someone who is now nearly 4 years sober this video resonated with me. One of the things that I noticed about myself when I was still drinking was a nearly constant lack of appetite. I’d be hungry but just wouldn’t find anything that I wanted to eat. I’m super glad it never got as bad as this patient. Always good to know that I made the right choice to seek help and get myself on the right path to health.
you gotta love how his livers is doing better then his brain with all that alcohol in his system for that long
How the hell could he afford 50 beers a day wtf.

This happened to me, I also was 42 at the time, its very very scary going through the dt's of alcohol, I'm 7 years clean and sober today!
The ONLY way to quit is to want it for yourself!!
Good luck to all that are suffering from addiction dependency, it only gets better when you want it to!
Congratulations on your sobriety!
Quitting alcohol is very easy. I've done it hundreds of times already.
@@Munakas-wq3gp lol
@@Munakas-wq3gp Know I did too until 2013 having had enough. I'd only drink when fully healed up, things were going great again, was happy, life was better; and then.. full on binge relapse. Otherwise in between, especially when bad things would happen, I really didn't think about drinking that much. But once having _one_ , the game was on.
From guilt and other problems, it'd be followed with 1-3wks of no eating, just vodka and poweraid to chase, mmmm. Binge drinkers are something else. It's all the way to the ER room or else not at all. I chose the first path until finally finding way to the second, more rational choice. I wouldn't be alive today without that desire to quit and making it happen.
Kudos to original poster, happy sober bday for the 7th year of a new life, and your 8yrs should be coming up soon, so my deepest congratulations. Just don't take the first drink. That's the "cure" to all of this which by now I'm certain you know. It's that simple but yet also so complex but it doesn't have to be. Just don't have that "first drink". It works for me and out of all treatment programs they have, both scams and the ones that aren't, that's really all they need to say. "Hey. Just don't take the first drink. That's it."
Wish I got paid thousands of dollars to push that point with a lot of filler, but I don't want money to help others. That's not working a program to heal your own self and others, that's called capitalism. AA is free. Might not like what some of them say, but a club of people who don't like drinking isn't a bad one imo even if they can be cult like. It's their book where the real magic lies. If you read it front to back, memorize it, it WILL help anyone quit drinking being full of psychological explanations that even you don't drink, one can still benefit from reading it to have a more open and enlightened mind than you did before reading it. Like a self help book on how to live a real life without sadness, regret, hate, jealousy, all the things that poison our minds every single day.
alcoholic withdrawal seizures are serious stuff, and scary to witness. my aunt had two in 2020 and almost un-alived in the living room… both times. luckily she agreed to rehab and is going on 3 years sober!! i’m extremely grateful for the chance to get to know her as a sober auntie.

tried 49 and ended up like JW, the limit is 48 fam
@Rumpel Felt those 50 beers a day contained around 6,500 calories in terms of carbs - possibly more. They just lack the fat/protein/vitamins/minerals - hence the presentation at the ER.

Wish you all the fortune, support and willpower when you start at last!
I drank for almost 10 years, at the end it was almost two large bottles of vodka a day to keep me comatose from the world. When I first tried to slow down without help I went into seizures and doctors didnt believe me when I said I drank a lot and thought it was the withdraws. It took another 3 years of seizures causing broken bones and concessions before I went and got real help. It took two stays for detoxing (I relasped the first time, the pain of being sober and the withdraws drove me insane. Also trying to figure out how to live being sober, its easy being numb.), a stint in rehab and then a sober house but I'll be 4 years sober in Oct. Life has never been better.
Congrats! As someone with alcoholism in the family (2 grandparents both were, 1 died from it) I'm a bit worried of also falling into that hole. I have depression, Anxiety and ADHD, and some weekends are spent completely blackout drunk, so far I have managed to keep it to weekends though...
Alcohol creates a condition known as “Histotoxic Hypoxia” commonly referred to as “drunk.” Unlike hypoxia from lack of breathable air, histotoxic hypoxia interferes with the uptake of oxygen from the blood to the brain, even though there’s plenty of oxygen in the blood. That’s why the slurred speech of a pilot who has lost cabin pressure at 24,000 feet sounds exactly like someone who has ingested ten shots of liquor down here on earth. Alcohol is one of the few substances that can cause you to become unconscious but still be walking, talking, and even operating machinery such as a vehicle. Commonly referred to as a “blackout.”

@@jabadahutwilson6115 did you watch the video?
This exact thing happened to my dad, like everything, seizing, not eating, drinking from 1st thing in the morning & stopping when passed out at night, he had a bad seizure & didn’t come out of hospital, they put him in a nursing home at age 50, he also all of a sudden couldn’t walk & had to be in a wheelchair, but he could still move his legs, his personality was exactly the same , although he also all of a sudden had dementia, lasted about 5 years in nursing home before passing away, I really miss my dad, I feel robbed, a bit of salt could’ve changed this ?
If its a really bad alcoholic habit, i dont think only salt could have fixed this. Salt wont repair a damaged liver from years of alcohol consumption. So sorry for your loss by the way.
This sounds like korsikof syndrome which is caused by a severe thiamine deficiency which itself is caused by years of alcohol abuse and malnutrition. It damages the part of the brain that controls arms/legs and the part that controls memory
lol...
it's wild that a drug as damaging as alcohol is still ok, celebrated, and even encouraged while you can be denied a job, lose your job, or even get arrested for weed
Alcohol isn’t what killed him dummy it was his lack of salt and nutrition. Drink 50 cokes a day and watch what happens, drink 50 waters a day and see what happens. Drink 50 energy drinks a day n you’ll be dead before you reach the 20th. Should we ban energy drinks then? What about Coca Cola?
Why should a whole substance be banned because some people are dumb af and can’t take it in moderation.
Sugar kills just as many people as alcohol bro probably more and that’s literally pushed onto our children, and it’s in every product we consume. Let’s ban sugar

I was a severe alcoholic, sober now with no lasting effects, this video reminds me of how lucky I am to have survived it. I was hospitalized countless times with a multitude of things because of alcohol withdraw. So glad to be rid of that demon.
How much exactly did you drink on an evening of drinking ? Or if it was an all day thing then how much per day ?
Wish you the best mate👍
Well done 👍
Congratulations
Same. Definitely don't miss all the bullshit that came with it. Craziest part is how one day I just "walked away"... I'm apparently one of the lucky ones.
My withdrawals: No sleep, itchy all over, diarrhea, nausea, pain in the eyes and skin (that's where the poison escapes), hallucinations, panic attacks, etc. The worst pain mentally and physically I've ever had. Glad I'm sober now. Only 30 days so far, but I'll take it!
While I've never had anything physical aside from nausea the day after drinking and sometimes SUPER dry and burning eyes, the affects alcohol has on my mental health is insane. I was forced to quit for a short while and within the first week my chronic depression and anxiety were basically eliminated. I went a little over 2 months without a drink and hadn't felt that good mentally or physically since I was a teenager. It's amazing what happens and how fast it happens when we don't treat our bodies like a dumpster. Sadly, I let myself slip back into drinking, but only a couple of nights per week now. Sometimes 3 if I can stomach it. I'm gonna start only allowing myself to drink on Friday nights, though. I film for an upcoming YT channel with my brother and a few friends that day, so it makes sense. At least it would only be once per week while with people instead of 3-5 nights per week while drinking alone at home after the wife goes to bed. Even then, I probably should just stop altogether. I'll probably try and see how a couple of Friday sessions without it goes and go from there.

My dad would drink about 30 everyday my entire childhood. Would hardly eat and was always really slow and sick. Had strokes and major liver and circulatory issues, he’s 52 now and finally quit after liver failure. It’s clearly affected his mind and motor skills. Don’t fuck with alcohol kids
I drank 3-18 packs of natural light every day (sometimes more) for 10+ years..I would start drinking around 6 AM and work all day doing construction,cook dinner, help the kids with homework,do yard work,shower and I would eventually stop drinking at bedtime, which is also when I would eat. A guy at work looked at me one day and said, "man you gon die"! I couldn't quit hearing that over and over in my head..After a couple weeks I put myself in a hospital to detox for four days.. I've not had a beer since and it's been 7 years. I have never even wanted another beer, I was so afraid of the withdrawals but I never had one..maybe it was because I was drinking cheap,watered down beer? im 6" tall and i got down to 114 lbs. im now 220 lbs. I don't know but I feel so much better sober and im enjoying raising my son into a fine young man.I can't imagine life drinking that much alcohol ever again. sobriety is amazing and im so thankful Mitt uttered those unforgettable words.. they absolutely changed my life.. I promise you, if you have a drinking problem, you can get through it, I never ever thought I would see the day I would be sober, now I don't think I'll ever see myself drunk again. After being drunk for so many years, it's nice to be sober..

i had potomania, i think. i was low on sodium multiple times in ER and it made doctors panic quite a bit. I hallucinated like crazy - auditory and visual - for a long time too. had psychosis as well. it was crazy. 192 days sober somehow. biggest accomplishment of my life. good luck to anyone struggling with the bottle.
My mom was an alcoholic for many years, but it got really bad in the last few years she was drinking. She would have seizures and at one point, her heart stopped for ten minutes while in the ER. She's incredibly lucky to be here. She's been sober for 4 years now and I'm so proud of her.

As a licensed physician, I feel it is my duty to mention what was missed here. You must not consume more than 45 beers daily. Fifty is entirely unacceptable and we learn this the third day of med school.
Major takeaway: eat a cheeseburger or two with those 50 beers a day.
A cheeseburger with a side of REALLY salty fries
Instructions unclear, drank a liter of soy sauce.
Posted a similar comment, you deserve my like lol
Instructions unclear: ate 150 gummy vitamins
That was my takeaway lol
This is the reason Russians eat salty snacks like pickles when they drink. Keeps your salt levels up. They are professionals after all.
SimoExMachina2 in college we were too poor for chasers, so we chased vodka with pickle juice. It actually worked fantastically.
Russians are salty in general.
Another russian drinking tradition is eating a large pat of butter before drinking. Another is including beer as a necessary in between drink to the vodka.

Is that why they would traditionally serve peanuts in bars in the US as well?
In 2010 my best friend had his truck stolen and he went on a 3 week drinking binge without eating. His Thiamine levels dropped to near/zero and his brain started dying. He was 41 years old. He is now 53 years old and has to live in a nursing home because he only has a 30 second short term memory. The condition is called Wernicke Korsakoff's Syndrome.
Wet brain :(
Recently, one of my family members drank his life away sadly. he would drink at least one bottle of vodka every day. and he would chug it. and his closer family never helped him stop. im assuming because of the withdrawals he would get from it because they would be so severe he would have seizures. but about a month ago he finally passed away at 26 after being in a coma for about 3 months. all his organs finally shut down and he passed away, only 10 days after his fathers death from the same thing.
Alcohol is a horrible thing
Nobody can "make" a drunk stop if they're over 21.
A woman: drinks three gallons of water one time and dies

There was an explanation in the Video. Body can take more beer liquid than Walter because of the sodium Level difference.
@@dasshrs I could have swore he said the sodium levels were about the same for water and beer. ~10mg each. That makes sense considering beer is something like 95% water.

thing is the woman drank distilled water as far as i know, which has no sodium

thanks too for the original definition of these medical terms
The fact that I could understand 80% of this vid while being intoxicated proves how well explained this video is.... Probs to the creator!
This video is so scary. It reminds me of when I was hospitalised with starvation ketoacidosis, plus hyponatraemia and hypokalaemia.
I had a lot of trouble eating after major GI surgery. I did go to both my surgeon and a dietician, but they completely dismissed my concerns (and I ended up reporting them to the health practitioner registry agency in my country). I don't remember a lot from that time, but I do remember that the effects on my cognitive function were terrifying. They were the first sign, to me, that I was seriously ill. They made it a lot more difficult to advocate for myself, and after my surgeon and dietician both failed me, I couldn't co-ordinate myself enough to find new specialists to see. I quickly became too sick to think straight or care for myself at all.
I've been through some really awful things, but that was the worst time in my life. The muscle cramps were unreal, and they progressed to seizures. I also kept constantly gagging and retching, but I didn't have anything to bring up. Eventually, the gagging actually made it impossible for me to even drink water. I also had this awful sense of impending doom. That's what I remember most vividly.
Thankfully I'm okay now. It wasn't a complicated case like the one in the video. I still have some trouble eating, and I'm still struggling to recover from the muscle wasting it caused, but I'm alright.
I guess the moral of the story is, don't starve yourself for six weeks. Or maybe don't drink fifty beers a day. This is not something you want to experience.
Thanks for sharing. Glad you're ok now.
Wow, that sounds really difficult! I am glad you are doing better now.
A man once went over 400 days without eating anything to no ill effect. Lots of people fast for 6 weeks with only positive results. But you do need fat to begin with. And the man in the video didn't fast....he ate/drank badly.
@@M13 He did fast, to an extent. The video said that he only consumed beer for some time.
Thank you for the well wishes. ❤️

My Dad's side of the family always drank heavily. Get togethers with just a few people, but enough beer for a college frat house. His step-brother and step-dad both died of Cirrhosis of the liver. Step-brother was in his 40s when he passed, his step-dad was 65 or so and drank a liter of vodka a day for years. Luckily, I couldn't drink that much if I tried. Everything in moderation my guys, we are not superman.
Not buying "50 beers/day"...
That's a little less than FIVE gallons 😂
This sounds like my younger brother. Unfortunately, nothing I or friends said made a difference. He drank more and more throughout a 10 year period. In 2009, not even a month after his 40th birthday, he got very sick for about a week, before passing away suddenly. He was not only my sibling; but also my best friend. Miss you pally-pal.
Lost one of my best friends earlier this year to alcoholism. Everyone knew he drank a lot, no one knew it was that much. Things went bad quick. Still hard to believe he's gone.
I'm so sorry for your loss :(
Sorry to hear that.

Good Lord, I'm an alcoholic that hit my bottom and quit almost 5 years ago, 5 years on May 14. I was a beer guzzler too. I feel awful for this guy. I guess I got lucky. My health is good and I have no desire to ever drink again.
Happy soon-to-be anniversary, and congratulations!
@@aurea. thank you very much!
Good for you! I know someone who needs to stop with drinking a lot of beer every day but this person needs to want to quit and be serious. This person's life is being effected in many negative ways.

@@Nate_H. A bottle of Weizendoppelbock will make your night great.
I went through the same thing when I first got sober. It's indescribably horrific. I made the ill advised decision to quit cold turkey from a litre a day of whiskey overnight with no medical help. I was fine for two days, then on the third, out of nowhere, I had a massive seizure and was taken into hospital. I was put on benzodiazepines and thiamine among other things, and I later learned that even then, they were expecting a second seizure, but it never happened. On night two in the hospital, though, I became delirious and was wandering around the ward convinced I was dreaming and talking complete nonsense, accusing everyone around me of being a figment of this dream I was certain I was in. Eventually they sedated me and got me into bed. I was in there for five more days being monitored before I could go home.
I've been sober ever since. I NEVER want to experience that abject horror again as long as I live.
I liked your story Yella Dart. Being a friend of Bill myself, I've heard countless stories like yours and a lot from myself as well. It's really good to hear you've been sober since because the drinking disease is one not to be taken lightly. If you ever feel like drinking is better than current circumstances, please contact AA in your territory. They are in every city you might live in, you don't need your money and you coming to them will help their long term members stay sober. They remain sober to help others go sober. good luck
I quit cold turkey as well. That's hard. I couldn't sleep for 5 days straight. I was days from being bagged and tagged.

What is total hepatic and renal failure?
@@Customs4488 total shutdown of the liver and kidneys. Ie: they stop filtering your blood to remove nasty things snd therefore you start to accumulate byproducts and waste in your blood, slowly poisoning yourself.
Hepatic failure also sometines carries the consecuence that not only does your liver stop filtering,but it also starts to breakdown and thus releases more nasty stuff.

This is a good reminder of the chronic problems which can be caused by excess alcohol. So often, we picture the immediate consequences of drinking too much: stupid decisions, hangovers, or vomiting. Other than liver failure, we rarely think about the long term health concerns.
I’m an ER nurse. At any given time I have an ongoing relationship with several “JWs”. They are in & out almost daily if not multiple times a day. Often with seizures.

Very informative share. Well done and thank you. I’d hardly be the one to tell anyone what to do. I’ll just say this. If you have to drink just to keep from shaking and not fall on your ass because you have D-T’S....I needed a doctor a few times. Run out of money and the withdrawal kicks in. It can kill you and this guy in the video. He has my sympathy.

I drank approximately 120 fifths of 100 proof rum in 120 days during a very stressful event in my life and I can testify that drinking such an amount consistently while ignoring my caloric intake can and will cause extreme issues in your biology. I originally began to drink because it allowed me to eat while in a state of extreme stress that i endured for a long period of time which my adrenalin would not allow me to do otherwise. There has to be a point at which you must break the fear that causes yourself to self-destruct. Many prayers going out to those that get stuck in this cycle of self torture.

The biggest lesson from these videos is how resilient the human body really is. Dude lived off of nothing but 4.5 gallons of piss water for a month and a half and, if he'd had the foresight to take a salt tablet every now and then, would've survived it with minimal damage. Meanwhile I'm here worrying I might have a stroke because I didn't get the exact correct amount of Omega 3s in my diet this week.
So true, honestly relieves some of the anxiety of health
Add some saltines, sardines, or bacon & beans to that piss water diet and maybe you can live off it for a while, if surviving on that counts as living. At least salty carboard is a step above salt tablets.
