Everything in moderation. Basically, don't guzzle the booze like an idiot every day of the week and use a little common sense when you do. Beer is way too tasty and fun for me to jeopardize it by abusing it like I'm still 18.
What are you drinking right now?

I haven't gotten drunk in years, but I'm considering it. If you don't hear from me it means I did...and I'm in jail for killing my loser roommate, lol..."Ya know what they say about angels...

I always get hung up on this talk of mortality rates... In my experience... light, regular, heavy and even 100% non-drinkers... every last one of them have a 100% mortality rate. No one escapes here alive.
Then trying to distinguish if you check out at 65 -vs- 75 or 85, 90, 95... what ever age in the range of "old"... Who's really getting short-changed on the mortality measures..?
I think I saw a figure saying that over 50% of people over 80 had a degree of dementia.
I was talking to a relative last weekend who is 87, brain fine, walking with a zimmer but decent health and she was pretty much saying that it was pointless for her to be alive.
She's wealthy enough, has quite a lot of friends. isn't religious but now her husband has died seems to be pretty ambivalent about the whole thing.
I find that kind of comforting. It's good news I think if we don't go kicking and screaming to the graveComment

One thing I've noticed with older relatives and folks with dementia is most the time they are quite content and happy. I guess because they no longer have an awareness of their situation and surroundings... they're just blissfully floating around in whatever world they are imagining at the moment.
The hard part when they do get frustrated and angry when they do get lucid enough to realize they can't do something they want to anymore. But the worst is when they are pissed off but don't know why... But luckily an hour later they don't even remember being pissed.
My Dad is 90 and drank moderately all his life... glass or two of wine or beer every day. His brain is still with him and the body mostly works. I don't figure we'll have him with us much longer... but thankful for the time I've had."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment
