Man Drinks Only Beer for 30 Days After Divorce, Son Walks Into Nightmare

Thailand(The Uttam Hindu): A heartbreaking incident from Thailand has emerged where a man reportedly died after surviving for 30 days on nothing but beer following a painful divorce from his wife. The shocking case was reported from Ban Chang district in Rayong province, Thailand.

The deceased, identified as Thavisak Namwongsa, had stopped eating altogether and consumed only beer day and night for an entire month. His 16-year-old son discovered him unconscious in their home after returning from school and immediately called emergency services. Unfortunately, by the time help arrived, it was too late.

The teenager revealed to police that his father was devastated after the divorce and had completely shut down emotionally. "He was broken after the divorce. I used to cook for him every day, but he didn’t eat anything. He just kept drinking beer all day and night,” the son said.

When the emergency rescue team entered the room, they were shocked to find more than 100 empty beer bottles scattered everywhere—on the floor, near the bed, and in the corners—leaving barely any space to walk. One of the rescuers noted that Thavisak had even cleared a narrow path between the bottles to move around the room.

Police believe Thavisak suffered from severe depression following his separation and turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism. Though the official cause of death will be determined after a post-mortem, initial investigations point to excessive alcohol consumption as the likely reason. The case highlights the critical importance of emotional support and mental health care, especially for those battling loneliness and depression.
