Liver perchance? I worry about mine. I was a functional drunk for 30 years. Drank myself into self-diagnosed pancreatitis and was actually able to quit drinking without any intervention or help from anyone. It was hard, but I knew if I didn't do it I was on the road to death. That was 4 years ago. I started riding 1 year ago. Go to the doc every year and the blood work comes back fine, but I still worry about the damage done to my liver. It'll likely kill me one day, but I'm hopeful it will be 20 years off. I'm 56. Looking back on it, I can't believe I led that lifestyle for so long. So stupid. Sorry about your friend
