There's a thing called being a weekend alcoholic. That's what I was referring to. When Ryan made the remark, it might have been based on that theory. But do you know him? Do I? No. So that call is strictly his own. But I don't imagine him whipping a serious word like that on himself without there being some proof, at least in his own mind.

"Diabetes is the most common cause of kidney failure... over 100,000 people a day are living with kidney failure as a result of diabetes."
