I used to drink a glass of red wine every night before dinner. It caused my blood pressure to go up for quite awhile. ThenI I switched to beer, half a can every night, and my blood pressure is fine. I’m a small woman, so I think a large man could drink at least one can every night.
I come from a family of alcoholics, and they basically hate me for having that glass of beer and quitting.
Baptists who are wound just a little too tight...
“...can shorten your lifespan...”
The keyword is CAN not WILL! Anyone CAN posit a theory about things that can shorten your life. For example, eating too much pizza CAN shorten your life. Or drinking too much coffee CAN shorten your life, or watching MSNBC can shorten your life, etc.
It’s so easy, even the GEICO caveman can do it.
US med schools are funded by pharmaceutical companies in large part and the FDA is mostly made upon pharmaceutical company executives. So what do you expect?
My smart MD went to med school in Nigeria and didn’t tell me to get a vax.
can shorten your lifespan by approximately two-and-a-half months...
Churchill only made it to 90.
I was 92 years old late last month. This article inspired me to get another bottle of Yuengling, my fourth today. I hope it doesn’t kill me. Usually I stop at three.

Used to watch that 'illegal', backwoods distillery show. Always saw the old, wrinkled expert barking out instructions. I want his lifestyle and Keith Richard's doctor. I'll be all set.
As socialism and totalitarianism take over everyday life more and more, and the insane run the asylum, this could turn out to be a very useful piece of information.
In the past (and probably certain places still today), it was safer to drink an alcoholic drink than the water.
Why must you always beat me to the punchline?
I hate you.
If you mix beer and Mad Dog 20/20, you will wish you died.
Same here! I was adopted at 3 days old away from an alchohalic mother and father. The mother later gave it up and became a Christian. I found out only just last year about my birth father. He died a horrible death of failed liver at age 88. Two birth brothers died of alc but the other siblings are dry Christians. My remaining brother has clean christian kids who are in a world famous pop band. I'm more like you, but definitely touched into the "problem drinker" realm. I'm glad you never had that disposition! It's a nightmare.
