Would you rather live to a hundred and be miserable or to 96 and be happy?

I'm one who had to stop drinking 30+ years ago as an act of self defense...happier than the booze ever made me feel....

"That Daily Glass Of Wine May [???] Lead To An Earlier Death, Study Finds"

You may “die sooner’ but you’ll have a better time in life. What’s the point of living longer if not to enjoy some aspects of it? Are these scientists grinches? Avoid everything that is enjoyable, fun and exciting so you might extend your incredibly boring life longer. What’s the point?

Been drinking a glass of Burgundy each day since I was 40 (maybe earlier). I hit 85 recently. Checkup at the doc and the aide says, wonderingly, “Your blood pressure is 125/57. You have the heart of a 20-year-old.” Too bad the rest of me isn’t. :-)

The problem with such studies is that many who run them are not very good with statistics.

What is the sample population like? What is the time frame?
What is the reason for the result?

And finally, correlation is not causation. Dolly Parton has a wonder charity that gives books to kids, because of a study that kids that have books in the house do better than kids who don’t. What the study DIDN’T ask is “What type of people buy their kids a lot of books, and what is their parenting style compared to those who don’t?”

Even that could be flawed. I was smuggling Tom Clancy novels into my school backpack at age 8, and it wasn’t because my parents wanted me to..

Hartz says that while earlier research has claimed moderate drinking can reduce one’s risk of heart disease, the benefit is overshadowed by the other damaging effects of alcohol. She points to the elevated risk of developing cancer from daily drinking, which of course, can shorten a person’s lifespan...was an increase in the rate of cancer actually the cause for the twenty percent increased risk of death? - if not, what other factors were involved? - apparently they observed the increased risk, but provide poor explanations of where it came from - in addition by including subjects who were already patients at the VA, they preselected their sample for illness and perhaps early death - I think I'm going to go on with my glass a day of wine, trying to keep it below the six ounces my cardiologist says is the limit above which alcohol starts to weaken heart muscle......

They tell me, “Alcohol is a slow death.”

I tell them, “That’s okay, I can wait.”

When I stopped smoking cigs, alcohol no longer held a draw for me. Nowadays I’m more interested in how many miles I can count during a week of hiking.
