Hank's death
editI think the problem is that the new version seems to say that Hank's alcoholism was strictly the result of back pain. I think that's inaccurate. Hank's drinking problems began in his teens and by his early 20s he was a full-fledged alcoholic. No doubt he drank in part to cope with his back pain, but alcoholism is a disease unto itself. Hank was an addict, and would have been one regardless of his bad back. His dependence on Morphine, on the other hand, was facilitated by a physician treating his back pain.

- The level of chloral hydrate in his system ; when traveling in the back of a car for days somewhat comatose or so it seems ; is questionable for me and makes me wonder what length of time it was actually ‘at leathal level’ for him. He started having heart problems at 28?? At what point was he first prescribed chloral hydrate and will we ever know.. I think it is safe to say that his heart was destroyed by some lethal combination of misprescibed drug. Alcohol simply a ‘comorbidity’ in his case. Sad. Real sad. Way too young . And if you want to look at it just based on the genetics well his 75 year old son is still looking great , tall and in great shape moving all around on the stage at 75. His state of physical health at his age , after a life of lots of carousing and life on the road , shows no signs of genetic heart issues which would make you drop dead at 29! 98.118.34.94 (talk) 11:53, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
