Question by SOSwheresmytowel: Is it possible to stop drinking at age sixty?
This morning I learned that my father is in the hospital with alcohol withdrawal. He’s tried to quit many times over the last thirty years. What are his chances of getting off the sauce? Will he get better in ICU?

Best answer:

Answer by angela
He will “detox” while he’s in the hospital, but he’ll need serious help to quit drinking. I wish him well.
