    Default The binge drinking girl who suffered liver failure at just 14

    OK, so where were the parents when she was drinking six bottles of wine a day?

    The binge drinking girl who suffered liver failure at just 14

    She started drinking heavily at the age of 12. And by the time she was 14, Natasha Farnham was told by shocked doctors that she was the youngest patient they had ever seen with liver failure caused by alcohol abuse.

    She was drinking up to six bottles of wine a day - and now, at 18, she has been warned that if she drinks again she will die.

    Her descent into a life of ruined health and petty crime again illustrates the perils of cheap alcohol and the culture of binge-drinking that grips Britain.

    The teenager wants to tell her story to warn others of the dangers.

    The phrase 'you drink like a 13 year old girl' has lost all meaning.
    ...and I always wondered 'why can't he stay dead?' It doesn't change any good thing that he said. What matters is his life and not how he died. Why can't he just be a nice Jewish guy? - Tommy Womack

    No, it just gained a new meaning.

    Damn, they apparently sell cheap booze in 2 liter plastic bottles over there. Like a 2 liter of coke. That can't be very good stuff.

    I assumed that "alcopops" referred to some kind of alcoholic popsicle.

    (Though an alcoholic "kool-aid" is just as funny.)
