Dear Jared , I'm really starting to worry about you. You've been drinking so much , and I know you say it feels good but it's doing so many negative things to your body. It's destroying your pancreas and your liver. It can cause alchohal poisoning which is when you go into a state of unconsciousness and possibly die. You could also develope alcoholism which is a disease you get from drinking alcohol so much. I really hope you'll stop drinking because it's not just hurting me. It's hurting you. -
