“...glass or two of wine, especially with a holday dinner. A celebratory single-malt scotch once in a great while. I’ve even been known to drink a beer every couple of years.”

Says the guy who drinks at his “holday” dinner. CHEERS! :-)

My grandfather passed away at 90. Started smoking cigars when he was about 14 and drank 3 fingers of whiskey every night.

I think I’m going to wait until Dr. Fauci weighs in before I jump to any conclusions.

Being a physician does not mean that these people necessarily thing logically.

I once had a physician tell me that a problem I was experiencing that I had explained had started as a child was due to an event that didnt happen until I was an adult.

Sometimes they seem to get confused about who they are talking to or just make things up out of the blue.

On another occasion I had a physician tell met that the problem I was experiencing was likely related to the extensive number of combat tours I did in Vietnam.

I dont remember doing a number of combat tours in Vietnam.
I dont remember even one.
The way I remember my time in the service is that I was banned from travel to Vietnam.
Im pretty sure Im not even old enough to have served in Vietnam.

Then again, what would I know? I dont have a medical degree.

I have always loved the expression:

"50% of practicing doctors graduate in the lower half of their class!"

I like it because it is funny and true, but...just because a doctor graduates in the lower half of their class, it doesn't mean they will be in the lower half performance-wise as a practicing physician.

I have known plenty of extremely diligent and talented physicians who graduated far below the egg-heads, but...I would take them any day over the best in their class.

Did they take into account that most “moderate” drinkers are probably not as moderate as they pretend to be on a written survey?

So you’re a ‘collector’ ;-)

Funny: I try to collect, too, but every time I turn around it’s gone (wife never replaces anything she consumes).
