Speaking of cancer, if you ever listened to the Adam Carolla show or one of his other podcasts, RIP Bald Bryan.

On January 26, 2010, Gilbert reported that "suspicious cells" had been found in his thyroid and he would be getting half of his thyroid surgically removed.[16] Four days later, Gilbert posted on his Twitter that the surgery had been a success and no cancer had been found.[17]

On December 19, 2021, Gilbert reported that he had undergone emergency surgery at the ICU to remove a rare cancerous tumor called a pheochromocytoma after he was found unresponsive in his bed at home.[18] On August 15, 2022, Gilbert reported that he had been diagnosed with cancer again and would undergo surgery the following day after another pheochromocytoma tumor was discovered in his spine.[19] He announced on February 11, 2023 that he would undergo intense chemotherapy after additional pheochromocytomas were discovered in his lungs and back.[20]

On March 23, 2026, Gilbert announced that he had undergone emergency brain surgery after three tumors were discovered.[21] In April 2026, Gilbert reported that his cancer diagnosis had changed from metastatic pheochromocytoma to stage 4 adrenocortical carcinoma.[22]

On September 20, 2026 New Found Glory posted on their Instagram that Gilbert had died in his sleep that morning at his home in Nashville, TN.[23]

Jesus Christ that’s awful

Rehab claims another one.

Previously adult star Emily Willis was left braindead after a cardiac arrest in a California rehab facility.

More famously Jerry Garcia of Grateful Dead died in a California rehab facility, after stating that he believed he was just too old to detox from what he was dealing with.

He was right.

one of my friends is an alcoholic, he has nearly died several times now. he has done rehab a few times, but last time was supposedly one of the best in the nation in cali. they told him, he had around 25%-ish chance of not making it though detox. that was a couple of years ago, with he health problems stacking up recently, would guess it would even greater if he tries again.

edit,
the cali rehab first was detox, then like a month+ in a shared house with 8-10 other people with lots of doctors/meetings etc. after that, few weeks in a small apartment, with only 1-2 appointments per day. my friend made it like 2 weeks at the apartment, before starting to drink again.

There are different types of rehabs - a lot of the expensive ones rich people go to are basically just day spas you spend a few weeks at with dubious medical value.

Watched some show a few years ago, learned that alcohol delirium tremens could be fatal. How much booze does one have to pack away to get in a state like that.

Alcohol is the drug you're mostly likely to die of the withdrawal from. I watched a documentary a while back about a guy that was a hopeless alcoholic and his mom and sister took him to an addiction specialist and while they were meeting he started to shake and the doctor told they sister "Go across the street and get him a pint of vodka now" because he hadn't had a drink all morning and he was literally going to die. He went to rehab and died a couple of weeks later even with their supervision.

Not saying it can't be negligence by the rehab, but some people are so far gone by the time they finally decide to get help that they just can't survive it. Shit is bad for you.

my friend weighs about 150lb and was drinking a 6 pack and most of a 750ml bottle of vodka every night. he would drink the remaining vodka when he woke up. when he got 1st dui, bac was .3 something and .4 something his first time he about died. later he joked, that for about a year, he was never not legally drunk.

No idea, but as someone who went dry about two years ago, you can develop what amounts to essentially an allergy to booze eventually. I started to hit this point and decided that was my stopping point. I was never really addicted, but I was overdoing it from stress peers and pain. Stopped drinking completely, outside of a half shot once in forever or beer/whine as a cooking ingredient. But at the tail end of it I definitely was becoming physically ill from the passing out and I got blackouts full on that I never got before. So for posterity, I am a ham planet and I was putting away about 8 or so bottles of wine or premix margies a week before I went into retirement. I would imagine that based on the symptoms I was having that I would have been dead inside a year at that pace. I miss the fun of being drunk, but there are gummies and I can just eat the stress and pain from now on. People act like it was some sort of super power to just up and quit without some sort of intervention or withdrawal period, but I had quit for long stretches in the past cold turkey without really any thought about it, like years at a time.

I can definitely see it killing someone who drinks when its gone full toxic for them to do so, though. Probably a combination of factors, including body chemistry/genetics in the mix, combined with age and sustained rates of consumption. No idea why I was able to drop it instantly for years all three times I did, given what I have seen others go through.

During Prohibition, they actually had an exception for medically prescribed alcohol because even back then, they knew severe withdrawal symptoms could be fatal.
