Sorry to all you alcohol drinkers out there, if you drink, dont expect a long and pointless life.

Have you ever had papers published in peer reviewed journals? I have.

It's very easy to slant research to favor who ever is paying the bills. Just look at the climate change data manipulation thats been going on.

On that basis, I'd rather trust my own research than some pseudo scientists claims funded by some beer company.

i can say that vicodin does work to what it is marketed to do... a 'lil bit of JD will make the effectiveness of the medicine to its best.

My dad is overweight, drinks too much, eats a high fat diet, smokes at least one cigar a day and gets almost zero exercise. One of his best friends who was ecactly the same age (born the same day, month and year), was a professional Broadway dancer, had zero history of heart disease in his family and was in excellent shape dropped dead of a heart attack in the middle of a performance about 8 years ago. According to my "research" I better not take up dancing to get into shape and instead just follow my dad's lead.

God I'm glad at least someone around here is making sense.
Or at least making the kind of sense that makes sense to me. :cool:

Health kills!
Apparently so does dancing, so I won't be doing that either.

Sorry to all you alcohol drinkers out there, if you drink, dont expect a long and pointless life.

Yeah, none of the heavy drinkers I've ever known have made it past their late 60s, and all were head cases way before that; everyone was secretly glad to see them go.

The (kind of obvious) flaw in this study, I think, is the "non-drinker". I don't particularly like drinking -I'm a coffee addict- but I'll have a drink or two if the occasion calls for it or I want to mellow out. Although I HATE feeling drunk, would never call myself a non-drinker.

So why would somebody, aside from being an AA member, never touch a drink? Hepatitis would do it, or some other liver disease, or chronic ulcers, colitis, or chronic diverticulitis, etc. etc. and there's also a long list of prescription drugs for chronic disorders that preclude the use of alcohol - I'm sure you guys could add a lot more to my list.

My point is that many non-drinkers are probably not very healthy to begin with which is why they can't/won't drink.

Sorry about that... but you can't be that far gone, ne?
I mean, well, you can still find the keyboard and the goats are still contented, right?

So don't sweat it babe, after the first few they probably water your drinks down anyway. (not the barman, the goats - I'm sure they want to keep you in good working order) :)
