It didn't help my dad. A lifetime as an alcoholic and heart attck #4 nailed him.

It is interesting how a heart attack mimics a person with too much to drink. Puking, holding the chest, staggering, moaning. With both happening at the same time you don't really know if he is just drunk or dieing, that is until you find him dead.

Sorry about your dad.

EVerything in moderation is the key. Just as medicines in some doses help you, in large doses, kill you. Same with alcohol.

But while doctors kept telling everyone that people shouldn't drink at all, and now there is plenty of evidence that is worse, than moderate drinking.

Ouch. Sorry if my comments seemed insensitive.

Some things just aren't funny.

My dad went through a period of drunkenness when young, and suddenly went on the wagon and became a teetotaler..
I very rarely saw him take a drink of any kind during my entire life..

He died of a myocardial infarction at the age of 78...
