From what?

  He killed himself. To be exact: his was high functionning until he wasn't. From my understanding, he had a bad week (health troubles), which spiraled into a worse one at work. He took a month off, but was so nervous and on the edge that he beat his kid, and his ex-wife told him to put himself together or she would ask for full custody (basically you only see your child two weekend a week instead of half/half). Don't know what happened then (i had taken my distance since the divorce). The day before he had to go back to work (or the day after, not sure), he killed himself. [edit] This is my flawed understanding of the events. It probably did not happen like this exactly, most of it was discussions at the church and after the incineration (we usually have dinner with friends and family during those times where i live).

    I'm sorry to hear that. It seems to be a theme in this thread that it's hard to make a causal association with alcohol, and your friend would seem to illustrate this. I would think death via alcohol would mean alcohol poisoning or cirrhosis (apparently this took a friend of a friend of mine last month who worked as a bartender at a popular venue in town) or other health condition more easily related to alcohol abuse. Mostly I think unbinding basic health care in the US from employment would help with many issues. I don't know how people are supposed to be able to heal from illness while also putting in their efforts to a full time job.
