I have a good friend who has cirrhosis of the liver and less than a week to live. It's from years of heavy drinking. What a b.s article.

It's "cirrhosis", and I'm just the messenger.

And moderate drinkers live on average longer than both of these other groups.

...and according to the article, the quality of life later on for the "heavy drinkers" wasn't anything to write home about.

I guess it's all about the presentation and perspective.

Curt, I'm not trying to give you a hard time. I just hope people don't believe this B.S. Wording the article with Heavy Drinkers Live Longer in the title is ridiculous.

c'omon...

by a team at the University of Texas at Austin tracked the mortality rate of 1,824 people

nothing against the academic integrity of this fine school...



but it's not a city of tea-totalers

Actually, when you're drunk, it just takes longer to realize you're dead.

That's what the booze are for.

Here's my unscientific reason I am sceptical. I watched my grandfather drink himself to death. He died at 67 but looked almost 80. Never smoked. Never did other drugs. Just drank lots and lots of the hard stuff. The stuff will destroy you if you let it.
