Interesting, guess I'll be dropping that odd cider I drink when I have a bite out somewhere.

Like K'mpec, I suspect most people won't care.

they will care when you tell them you don't drink



New study shows millennials are drinking less, enjoying it more

Alcohol is still a large part of American culture, from happy hour after work to frat parties on college campuses. But researchers have found that young people today are throwing back fewer drinks than their counterparts 10 or 15 years ago. The decline is most significant in teens, but also present among adults in their 20s. The same trend has been recorded in Australia, the U.K., and several European countries.

I thought a few years ago a few drinks were healthy?

At the age of 45, I am comfortable; it’s not FU I am rich, but I’m comfortable. If I go anywhere near alcohol, $15-$30 will get me home with Uber or Lyft.

Some nights I drink too much. Other nights I drink none.

I’d be a hypocrite if I said I care about other people on the road. I care much more about me. I have too much to lose.

Doesn't make you live longer.

Only makes it feel that way.

Alcohol is the new tobacco. Just watch!

all this time I thought I would live forever drinking wine

Seriously, who cares!! Who the fuck is drinking for their health? I'm not much of a drinker, even though I enjoy the taste and experience of a good drink, but I like to have a couple here and there. Get my loose on

 

[bazokajoe]

I don't drink at all.Don't like how alcohol affects me,while I'm drinking it or the next day. I have nothing against people who do drink,just don't like being around drunks.

THE Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is calling for more prosecutions to crack down on violent and drunken airline passengers.

The plea follows last week’s revelation that it had already received more than 200 incident reports about disruptive passengers from UK airlines in 2018 - before the busy summer flying season had even begun.

The latest figures mirror previous years, which have seen over 400 incidents reported for each full year, many involving acts of violent and intimidating behaviour.

Although the clear majority of passengers enjoy the experience of trouble-free flying, the CAA is calling on airlines and enforcement agencies to make better use of laws already in place. It has pledged to work closely with the industry and government to bring prosecutions against disruptive passengers.

Having a family history in the distilling and liquor importing business, I'm not going to stop drinking.

Further, some to the factors they considered are drinking and driving -- well duh!

And tuberculosis. One of the primary drivers of attributable death and disability adjusted life years in the under 50 cohort was TB.

The word alcohol comes from the Arabic "al-kuhl" which is the name of a body-eating spirit, and is also the root origin to the term "ghoul".

facts are not demonizing. Alcohol causes more problems than other illegal drugs. The U.K is facing an alcoholic/drunk crisis and have an epidemic of drunk passengers on planes and in North America Alcohol is causing more problems that the opoid crisis

Be sure to abstain from sex, too, to be 100% safe from STDs. No masturbation either, as it carries 0.2% risk of urinary tract infection.

That was the whole "if you drink a glass of red wine a day it helps your heart". Or something like that. Pure rubbish. Notice how you never hear that anymore.
