This is such a buzz kill.
As it turns out, consuming just one alcoholic beverage per day — whether it be a pint of beer, a glass of wine or a shot of your favorite spirit — can shorten your lifespan by approximately two-and-a-half months, one expert asserts
Dr. Tim Stockwell, of the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research, told Daily Mail that those who drink significantly more alcohol than that — about 35 beverages a week — could slash a staggering two years off their lifespan.
It’s a rude awakening for those who might like to unwind with a glass of pinot after a long day, or who frequent happy hours with friends or colleagues.
“Alcohol is our favorite recreational drug. We use it for pleasure and relaxation, and the last thing we want to hear is that it causes any harm,” he said. “It’s comforting to think that drinking is good for our health, but unfortunately, it’s based on poor science.”
Unfortunately, according to the doc, no amount of alcohol is safe for boozers — and his claims are backed up by science.
Recent research has shown that alcohol consumption could increase the risk of certain health conditions, such as cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, liver disease and more, per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

I’ve done the math. I died five years ago. Oh well.
2.5 months? At the end of my life? Yeah - I can do without those particular ones I think…
I must be a walking zombie. I should have died after my discharge in 1968!!
I died 20 years ago. Did you notice I was gone?
if true, I died 36 years before I was born!
I doubt this. My brother would have been dead at age 12. Or, he live to 125 if he didn’t drink
I died three times in Australia and I was only there for one week! LOL!
Somebody made good use of their grant money. 🤡
It is BS Artists like Dr. Tim Stockwell, of the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research, who have driven me to drink.
I’m blessed. I should have died forty years ago.

Good one. A friend married a woman who made him swear not to drink. Her father did too much of it and did not want her husband to be like him. The father is still kicking at 92 and never stopped drinking.
It helps a lot of people who are married tolerate their spouses...
Notice I kept it gender neutral...😁
Does this mean I’m only gonna live to be 98??
Oh well, too late to worry about this now. After all it’s past 5pm here...
Time for a shot of tequila!!
That explains it. Now get the mRNA Bird Flu Jab. We need test subjects.
That will be the end period where I have absolutely no clue who I am or where I am. Cool... I might be spared from that.
I don’t drink, but the Bible says a little wine for the stomach, so I have to disagree that one glass of wine per day is unhealthy. I attend a church that teaches that no alcohol should be consumed. I only feel that way about people who cannot stop after one drink. There are people who should never drink.
BS...according to twitwad there i should have died 10yrs ago.
What’s happened to science?
Two and a half months.?? I think I can spare that much...
PURE Science! Buy my book!
