A dad-of-four has been told he needs a liver transplant after he turned to drink to help het him through Covid lockdowns. Stephen Allcock sought solace in bottles of wine and whisky when his transport business closed and lost his best pal in a motorway crash.
The 57-year-old progressed from drinking three bottles of wine a night to almost a bottle of whisky every day. He was eventually diagnosed with ascites and liver failure and told he needed the transplant, reports StokeonTrentLive.
Stephen, from Fenton, said: “I had always been a social drinker. With the Covid lockdown, everything was curtailed and there was nothing happening at all.
