A man now regrets that he started drinking at the age of three and has never stopped.

After 37 years of drinking alcohol, he became critically ill and was taken to a hospital in Changsha, capital of Hunan province.

Doctors from local Changsha No 3 Hospital said Shu, 40, suffers from serious liver problems due to drinking.

Shu, whose father runs a small winery, started to drink at 3. He has consumed more than 5,000 kilograms of alcohol.
