At my age, I have learned moderation in ALL things is important. Listening to experts and following their advice is crucial. If you have been told to stop drinking by medical professionals, then do it. If you are healthy, drink alcohol in moderation. There is no sense in risking your health by consuming alcohol daily. There are other things that can bring you enjoyment. The key is to find a balance and knowing when to say, enough is enough. If you are drinking to be part of the crowd, ask yourself. Will they still like me if I do not drink? If the answer is no, you need to find a better group of friends. If you become ill, most likely they will lose your number and won't even send a get well card. You have ONE BODY, take care of it!
