A member asked:
How do you tell your grandkids grandpa got liver failure from too much liquor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Honesty: No reason not to be straightforward with them. Grandpa did not realize how damaging alcohol could be and he used too much, and now there is a problem. Honesty is almost always the best policy. You do not want your children to find later in life that you lied to them.
