    I lived in an apartment when I was in my early 20s, and my neighbor was this old guy that had no license, so he would ask for rides to get groceries, which he sometimes did along with beer, and sometimes groceries just meant beer.

    I gave him a ride several times, and he would get an insane amount of cheap beer, like five 24 packs, and some brandy. I assumed it was for the month, but then I took him twice in about a week and he got the same amount.

    I talked to him as I continued to give him rides, which he was getting regularly from other people in the apartment, not just me. Turns out the dude drank 18 beers every day, plus whatever amount of brandy. 18. A DAY. I would like to see four copies of THAT guy do this. It would be like scrooge mcduck’s gold vault. He was in his 70s. No idea how he was still alive.
