Great news, heavy drinkers outlive non-drinkers!

No no, everything looks fine.

Thank God!

Non drinkers - heart issues [more prone without wine]
Moderate [daily one glass] - healthier. [And more relaxed - less stressed]
Heavy drinkers - liver issues [shortens life]

Thats the sum of it.

Did you know that at one time, cigarette ads were about how certain brands promoted good health ?

I co-worker brought in some magazines from the 1920's and I remember Chesterfield had an ad with a doctor supposedly stating that smoking Chesterfield Cigarettes would increase your energy level and overall health.

Lucky Strikes had something similar if I recall.

Wow.
My dad smoked lucky strikes [non filter] and pretty died from COPD [the new name for it] - because he couldnt take in air. He was a heavy smoker.

Human Beings are so mother loving tough they drink poison because they like the way it makes them feel

Other nationalities probably had similar things happen to them.

Had a toothache? Parent rubbed alcohol on that tooth/gum where the pain was.

Suffered a burn? Parent rubbed grain alcohol.

Had the flu? Parent spiked your tea with a little moonshine.

Had a little heartburn, upset stomach, the chills? Two immediate shots in a row.

Dealing with (Censored)? Buy a bottle.

Living in Yankees' town? Buy a bar.

The Giants are out of the playoffs? Buy the whole distillery.

Anyone who thinks alcohol is good for them has never spent a night drinking Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters with Zahod Beeblebrox

Sounds like i couldnt do it.

Italians, Greeks and the more European persuasion - who drink a glass with lunch and dinner [mainly wines] are heart healthier.
The heart attack rate is way lower - which amazes Dr's due to the high intake of carbs and meats.

So with all things - moderation.
Red grapes have a substantial amount of heart healthy stuff in them.
Some believe even drinking grape juice every day has the same effect.
FOR those who cannot touch alcohol - thats good news.

I had a single margarita last night. Thats my limit - moderate drinking even when i am out of with friends. I am usually designated driver... because i sip a glass of wine all night long - and eat with it. I dont get buzzed.

IF i do - i drink plenty of water. And eat something that absorbs it. But i dont go out much at all - so i dont worry. And sometimes i just nix having anything - so i can drive.

I haven't had grape juice in ages. Now I'm craving grape juice.

As one of my colleagues is fond of saying, "I don't have a drinking problem. I have a drinking solution!"
