Well I’m 49 and was healthy at my last medical, so here’s hoping.

Mentally it’s improved my life immeasurably. It took my out of my teenage shell, helped me socialise, introduced me to countless new experiences and people.

I’m lucky in that it hasn’t been problematic for me. Yes, it’s bad for you physically. A lot of things are. But I’d rather have it in my life than without.

That’s just my lived experience and I’d in no way refute the science. But I’d push back a little on the somewhat puritanical Alcohol = bad that many here sometines sanctimonious indulge in.

To each their own my friend!

Beer. Genuinely. Drinks with friends (not daily or problematical) is, in my opinion, the absolute spice of life. It’s not for everyone and the downsides are well documented and undeniable, but it’s always worked for me.

It’s also great fun. Source: me

I thought Trump, like Hitler, was teetotal?

Personally I absolutely love a drink, a couple of times a month. I’d rather they banned guns, but guess my European is showing 😂
