Reply to comment by HPmoni in TIL Al Capone was only 33 when he was locked away for tax evasion and developed neurosyphilis, leading to his death at 48. Eliot Ness was 27 when he formed the Untouchables--he died in a state of financial ruin in his 50s, likely hastened by his heavy drinking in his later life by capsaicinintheeyes

This is some real /r/im14andthisisdeep vibes

Bit older than 14.

Ness was a publicity hound. Yeah, alcohol consumption quickly gets problematic.
