Every night around 5PM for almost 50 years I’ve had one G&T. In all those years, I’ve not had malaria once!

I usually have one drink of Bourbon in the evening. About an ounce and a half >< of Woodfords Reserve or some equivalent mid priced Bourbon. Straight. And while sipping it for about while, I will sometimes puff on a pipe. I don’t inhale the pipe, and prefer low nicotine Latakia blends, or Captain Black Original. I’m 75, no health issues to speak of, and I’ve been doing this for a long time. I’ve taken blood pressure readings several times both before and after this enjoyment, and found that it actually LOWERED my BP? Not by a lot, but I expected it to go up a bit. I suppose the relaxation has something to do with it ?

I went through a Gin and Tonic phase every night for about 3 years. Then I started adding more variety. However, sometimes nothing but a Gin and Tonic will do in the summer.
