One thing I’ve learned over the past few weeks is it doesn’t matter if you clean up one day and live the rest of your life like a monk there will be an accounting for the years of hard partying.
The only exception to this rule appears to be Keith Richards! Except, I'm not sure if he ever quit.
He was 74. Lived longer than many of my clean-living friends and family.
He always seemed to talk down alcohol and cocaine. These are the truly bad drugs. At the same time he was an advocate of marijuana, and hallucinogenic drugs. Go figure.
Oh BS, neither of my parents were “hard partying”, and both didn’t see 70 years old.
Kanter was 74, average US male life expectancy is 76.
Nah.
Want to live a long and healthy life? Pick the right parents before you’re born.
And good luck never hurts.
My wife’s dad had 7 siblings. Most of them drank too much for too many years, some also smoked. With 2 exceptions they all lived into their late 80s and 90s. One died 3 weeks after her 100th birthday last year. Prostate cancer got my FIL at 75 (he had an enlarged heart and was supposed to die in his 30s). One brother had a heart attack in his 60s.
Another good one gone. RIP I will be toasting to the Eagles this weekend and Jefferson Airplane.
