True story.

aiming fluid? I thought it was swing oil.

just some FYI....my neighbor drank a highball every day for last 50 years. He had to go into hospital for some minor heart(never minor) surgery. He started to go through withdrawals and no one could understand what was happening until they realized it was withdrawals. He passed 28 days later, never able to have his surgery because body was too toxic from the alcohol.

How could quitting alcohol be unhealthy?
If it doesn’t affect your daily life, your personality and if you’re not killing your liver then “Live and let Live”
I do think 4 drinks a day everyday seems to me will sooner or later it will come for your liver.

Ya, hard to believe anyone would have "withdrawal symptoms" from one drink per day. So either they were drinking a heck of a lot more, or it wasn't alcohol withdrawal.

My grandpa done that but he was dirt poor.

My father did the same, at age 40, in 1929, just back from a 4-month honeymoon trip through the South in a new car. So not exactly dirt poor, just turned up a lot of dirt.

Reading that made me feel like I just had 3 to 4 alcoholic beverages.

I've been drinking decaf for over 40 years and never really knew how or what was used to remove the caffeine in coffee. I found this article to be very informative. According to this article, decaf coffee is safe to drink.......

Is decaf coffee safe?

Darlin' your link is to the National Coffee Association. Not probably the most disinterested folks.
