Let's get this out of the way immediately: Too much alcohol in any form is bad for your health. After all, alcohol itself contains roughly zero health benefits, drinking it in excess over time could result in liver damage, and further insidious side effects include cancer risk, osteoporosis, infertility, weight gain, depression, prolonged slurred speech, pancreatitis, and heart disease. Whether you're drinking lower-alcohol beer or higher-alcohol spirits or the fanciest of French wines, overdoing it can wreak havoc on your body over time.
That doesn't mean all alcoholic beverages are created equal, of course. A light, low-calorie beer will likely be better for you than its better-tasting craft counterpart that contains 450 calories. And if you're a fan of the hard stuff, know that sipping your favorite rum neat in a small glass invariably won't be as bad for your body as drinking the same amount of rum mixed in a classic daiquiri that comes loaded with a high dose of simple syrup. (A single ounce of the syrupy goop contains more than five teaspoons of added sugar. As we've reported in the past, too many added sugars will lead to more belly fat, raise your blood pressure, affect the way your brain functions, cause your skin to sag, and double your risk of dying from heart disease.)

Methanol neat. Well, it is an alcohol.
... Is it still OK to have a wild turkey and a cigar?
Cigar has 0 carbs, so by this article, go with it
I suspect certain cardiovascular variables my come to play, however
Communist plots abound.
Sterno, filtered through white bread with a dash of antifreeze please...
Shots make those girls drinking girly drinks much more attractive at 3 am. At least that has been my experience.
Mandatory I think.
Grappa... Worst hangover ever. Stuff is full of near poisonous alcohols. You get less hangover drinking 1/2 kerosene 1/2 corn syrup cocktails and it is better for your liver.
There would be a lot of fat ugly chicks in a bar going home alone.......
Methanol is poison. When making moonshine, the 1st 20% is methanol. Straight poison. Then as the fire gets hotter, the good stuff is generated. Could you soak corn and wheat grains in methanol and then place the result in a hidden section of the barn for the rats and mice to eat.? Rat poison.
“ How did we survive all those margaritas?
Still too soon to tell.
“ Is it still OK to have a wild turkey and a cigar?”
In my home, that is mandatory. I just substitute the Turkey for Gentleman Jack.
Genny Cream Ale, and it’s associated “Genny Screamers” is likely on the avoid list...
As a college undergraduate in Oneonta, from Long Island, I paid the price for my ignorance...
Steve Jobs: teetotaler, strict vegetarian, self-made multi-billionaire, jerk, dead at 56. If you could, would you really trade places with him? While avoiding alcohol and the quart of coffee antidote in the morning is good advice, life is all a crap shoot.
I say enjoy yourself
A good cabernet with a standing rib roast for dinner. Yeah!
Woo hoo! Tequila shots on the way!
Consider adding a nice handgun, rifle, or shotgun to complete your ATF day.
The bottom line: do what you like. It is called freedom.

Still too soon to tell.
Need more testing
