A FORMER chef at Theatre Clwyd whose drinking became worse during lockdown died due to alcohol-related damage to his liver. The inquest into the death of Stephen Foulkes, 53, heard that his drinking had got to the point where he was drinking three or four bottles of wine each day, starting when he woke up at 7.30am. The hearing at County Hall in Ruthin heard this equated to 27 units per day with the recommended weekly maximum for a man being 14 units. Assistant coroner for North Wales (East and Central) David Pojur said This is very substantial alcohol intake which he said had an impact on his mental as well as physical health.
