Mum drinking three litres of vodka a day was given just 24 hours to live

A mum was told she had just 24 hours to live after drinking three litres of vodka a day at the height of her alcohol addiction.

Charlotte Durcan considered herself a non-drinker just three years before her addiction reached its peak. But as a self-confessed 'extremist', within 36 months she had spiralled out of control and was in danger of losing her life.

The 30-year-old began to suffer seizures and blackouts as a result of her drinking, finding that without vodka she would start shaking and sweating, reports LancsLive.
