Depends how heavy an alcoholic they are and what their everyday life consists of. But in most cases not long as they will develop stomach ulsers and liver failure. However I do know an 80 year old man who drinks atleast a pint of whiskey and who knows how many beers a day and he's still kickin. I wish I knew what his secret was.

∙ 14y agoThe question is a reflection of an urban myth that states that drinking kills brain cells. In fact, small amounts of alcohol (1 - 2 units a day) have shown some indications of prolonging life.
Extensive drinking has a variety of effects on the body, from deterioration of the liver to damaging the cardiovascular system, pancreas and kidneys. Many of these are potentially fatal, and all can contribute to compromised health. On the other hand, total abstinence from alcohol can actually reverse many of them.

It would again depend on the person, but I'd say, and this I must add is highly unscientific, that say the onset of kidney disease and/or Alzheimers can seriously damage your longevity and the quality of your life too leading to on average the loss of 5 years to 10 years. You will need a calculator to make that into minutes!
