123 probably has lived a good life, already got the talk from medical or family/friends.

Life can be short even if you are a vegan. OP I would drop one drink per day see how you do mentally and physically. Then rethink

Costs me somewhere between 100 to 200 bucks a bottle, more or less. Unless I have help, that bottle can last a year or more. Seldom indulge, but when I do, I want it to be as good as I can get.

Alcohol is to your liver as pickle-ball is to your knees. Simply a matter of time before either one gives out.

Thanks for all of the opinions and information. For the record, no doctor has ever recommended that I quit drinking. My blood numbers are normal, including my liver tests. But I think that, at some point, everyone needs to make their own decisions about what is good for them. Doctors are great, but they don't know everything.

Excellent attitude and response. Good luck to you. 👍

I suspect that you are envious that I am cheaper than you, but you just need to try harder. At this point, my problem is that I am going to run out of life before I run out of money.

Couldn’t say same thing with golf and persons back?

Don’t most all retirees run out of life before money?

$200 bottle? One born everyday as them say.

Hopefully

Absolutely not.

Huge problem.

Clearly you are on to me.

But the cheapest guy I know is my brother who dug his basement by hand after the home was built*. It took him two years but he saved a ton of cash.

Top that RG123!

I believe two or three would be slightly more healthy (to your well-used liver) as a daily intake, leaning towards the two end of the averrage.
I am not a doctor, but that's what my wife tells ME.

So sorry to hear that. I sucks to watch someone just be addicted to something which will kill them, like alcohol or cigarettes, know it and not be able to do anything. .
