Well. . .retiredguy123, all along this thread, I never thought it was you. I assumed you were "asking for a friend."
Now, I gotta tellya that you must be doing OK because I have never-- never even once -- in all these years -- seen you drunk-post. Over time, I have seen a couple of what I think had to have been drunk-posts (really mean drunk-posts) -- but they were not from you. :) Boomer |
Can't see why everyone needs to go by these new guidelines. I think to each their own, follow your gut to know what's best for you. Cheers!

Alcohol is neurotoxic to the brain, cardiotoxic to the heart and hepatotoxic to the liver, all dose and duration dependent. The liver having an ability to heal itself, if given the chance, the brain and heart less so. As we age, AFIB is a more common heart problem among drinkers.
How you, as an individual, metabolize alcohol on steady long term basis, simply depends on how God made you. Some more sensitive than others. |

What advice does your liver scan and EKG offer you? If your liver and heart are healthy, then enjoy. If not, you can decide for yourself if the risk of spending your last weeks of life suffering in a hospital or having to endure dialysis is greater or lesser than the reward of enjoying a few drinks every day.
Of course - if it's truly a concern, you could just try cutting back, have one drink a day, and see how it goes from there. |
Recently I saw a cartoon of a woman visiting a gravesite. The inscription on the headstone listed the dates the man had given up smoking, red meat, alcohol on so on. The last line gave a date followed by "He died anyway."

Simple, everybody knows that alcohol kills germs. It therefore also kills germs inside your digestive track. So as you drink alcohol, you destroy your microbiome, which is made of 'beneficial germs'. A messed up microbiome causes all sorts of problems because you get all your body's needs from digesting food. Screw up your microbiome and you disrupt digestion, and don't get the elements your body needs.
