Kelsey, my older brother died of complications from diabetes. He'd been a smoke jumper and always took good care of himself. He had a NordicTrak in his living room. He was fit and strong. But he would not give up his Jack Daniels whiskey, which is like a straight shot of sugar to the liver. I will not go into details of his death. It was not quick and it was not pretty. He was 58. He left a teenage daughter.
