Boozer who takes TWO LITRES of spirits a day develops massive tumours on throat that resemble horse's neck

If you take alcohol a lot you might want to reconsider, a man who takes two litres of spirits a day for more
than 30 years developed a fatty tumour that led him to
be called 'the man with the horse's neck'.


Hong Shu struggled to eat, sleep or breathe after being
diagnosed with the rare Madelung disease, where fatty
deposits accumulate in various areas of the body
including the neck, arms and legs.

Mr Hong who is from Guangzhou, southern China, recently
underwent multiple surgeries to remove the deposits and today or tomorrow will be out,  who know if he'd go back to drinking.
There are only around 400 instances of the extremely
rare disease world-wide. It was about 10 years ago that our man Hong started noticing 'SPIRITual' changes in his body (don't worry,  it only happens to spirit addicts) . It started with swelling behind both of his
ears but gradually spread to around his throat area.
Overtime, the fatty deposits took over his neck,
forming what's been described as horse, cow, elephant, camel and even Giraffe neck.
Hong became withdrawn, depressed and rarely went
outside.
But after being diagnosed, he has been given a fresh
start as doctors carried out three successive surgeries
to remove the fatty deposits.
Before his recent surgeries, the swelling around
Hong's throat was more than six inches wide and
around five and half inches long.
On his neck, Hong also had two lumps, which
measured more than seven inches wide.
Hong is said to consume up to two litres of Chinese
spirit called 'bajiu' per day. The distilled spirit is made from rice, [yes, the one you know] ,
sorghum or other grains, and has an ABV of anywhere
between 40 and 60 per cent.
Over the space of 30 years, Hong has consumed tens
of thousands of litres of the hard liquor, triggering the
disease.
So you might want to advice your uncle in the village to call it quit on his usual visit to mama nkechis beer parlour. Lol...
Do have a wonderful night rest. Chao!!!
