If ya got elevated high blood pressure then its highly unrecommended. Too much booze is no good for the heart either and if one is obese then a double whammy.
You’re right. Buzz kill.
Best post of the thread so far...........
My mom’s ex-husband drank 24 beers a day. We were sure that it’d kill him (we’ve never had an alcoholic in the family). But nope. He’s in his mid-80’s now and doing just fine. Still chugging 24 beers a day.
I think one’s genes has a lot to do with these outcomes. I knew a long-term, serious alcoholic (I’m talking Manhattans at 10:00am) who lived to 89. I had a great-aunt who smoked two packs a day since a teenager, who lived to 92. And I knew a total abstainer — never smoked, never drank — who was an accomplished athlete. He died in his fifties.
I certainly believe you should take care of your body as best you know how but, in the end, it’s mostly about the genes.

If you’ve ever enjoyed a traditional cask ale—cool, not cold and barely carbonated—this makes complete sense.
Ahh there is the point, it’s what’s in it that’s really important....a little Ireland in the brew is not that bad, I guess.
I rarely have a glass a wine at a Wedding or special occasion, but Guinness seems to be the choice of many men.
