Long-time alcoholic says he can't urinate or defecate. does it really get that bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Alcoholism unchecked harms physical and mental health. However, only a medical evaluation can determine more precise cause of urinary tract or bowel problems. Every alcoholic's health decline is somewhat different. See: http://niaaa.nih.gov/alcohol-health/alcohols-effects-body
