Richard Gere got through those years ,it's a pity Jan could not !My closest friend is a full blown alcoholic ,l have basically given up on him because of his drinking problem!!
Sadly,alcaholism ran in Jan's family.Both his grandfather & father had the problem though it missed his siblings.Maybe it only hits the eldest,I don't know.But Jan needed more help than Hellieweird ever gave him.RIP carino.
