What do you think alcohol is? It is a poison which when you drink enough of it changes your body functions to give you a high.

Yeah, but if it gets me off this planet one hour earlier and away from the nagging herd of harridan harpies, it's worth it.

Few people tell their doctors the truth about their alcohol consumption. This is so bad that the running joke is double what ever it is they admit to.

If they'd only tell the truth the doctor could order them to stop drinking so much, and then they'd be okay.

Health nuts can remember Sarah Boseley’s words when they’re sitting in some hellhole nursing home...

wishing it was over ...

knowing they’ve got an extra few months of sitting in their own pee ...

BECAUSE THEY SKIPPED THOSE EXTRA GLASSES OF WINE...

Enjoy.

“over the daily recommended limit”

Consuming _some_ actually extends life.

You don’t actually live longer, it just seems longer.

Bull$hit. What they mean is, “on average, an average glass of wine shortens the average life-span of the average person by an average of 30 minutes,” and that is horsemanure.

I discount all these phony “studies.” There are too many variables that they conveniently choose to overlook. Plus, when it is reported, they always omit the fact that the numbers are supposed to be an average.

Besides, there are contradictory “studies” coming out all the time.

Alcohol in moderation is no more dangerous than putting salt on one’s vegetables.

I drink once a year, on my birthday.

There is a Bruce Willis line from the movie “North”: “They say that for every hour you exercise, you add an hour to your life. So why bother extending your life if you are just going to spend the time exercising? And that’s why I don’t exercise.”

It is a lifesaver if one has high levels of LPa (genetic). Alcohol, not just wine, lowers it.

My great grandmother died from a massive heart attack at 53 (not overweight). Doc told my mom she should have died from her heart attack at 51. They were baffled as to why her artery was so blocked as she was not overweight and and relatively young. Blood test showed elevated levels of LPa which makes what ever cholesterol you do have more likely to clump and clog. It’s unfortunate genetics and explains her gransmother’s heart attack and her dad’s stroke.

No one knows why but alcohol lowers one’s levels. Her grandma never drank and neither did my mom until after her heart attack. Her cardiologist at Mayo Clinic said she absolutely had to have a glass every night. I started having wine after I was done having children, around age 40.

Most Medicines are poison, even Tylenol, if abused. Alcohol is just another useful substance to be used in moderation.

Drinking an extra glass of wine 'will shorten your life by 30 minutes'

This is why you drink a bottle, not a glass. /life hack

... every glass of wine or pint of beer over the daily recommended limit will cut half an hour from the expected lifespan of a 40-year-old.

Who decided what amount constitutes the "daily recommended limit"?

But you’ll be drunk for 1 hour so the math still makes sense
