Alcohol !

Without my 3x weekly G&T and a couple of glasses of wine with a meal I would be very unhappy. My life is challenging but I have those treats to look forward to.
I think everyone should do what suits them and works for their lifestyle. The experts can suit themselves, I will.

I read somewhere that giving things up that are bad for you won't make you live longer it will just feel like it does.

My DH always says that - you have to die of something. I probably drink more than is good for me. My life hasn't been a walk in the park and while I realise alcohol is not the answer, it helps me to relax. I have just had a thorough health check and I am as fit as a butcher's dog.

I wish I had been the person who coined it. But someone else said it to me and I have treasured it ever since.

Monica, I love your last sentence!

Alcohol is bad for you (causes cancer), so does fat, red meat,sugar, not exercising, exercising too much, too little sleep, too much sleep, coffee, etc etc etc.

Life is a sexually transmitted disease that is always fatal. You have to die of something.

Same for me bimbadeen, you just have to cope as you would have to if it were any other illness, I know just how difficult it is

Sorry bimba I posted that before I read your post.

Yes that is a different issue altogether and hard for you.

Oh well - how long has man been drinking alcohol? Nonsense.

Son has bi polar and is an alcoholic, anyone else had these problems and how have you coped with them?

Loses his temper very easily which is NOT nice.

Only if its homemade, if life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Anyone want a vat of it???!

No thanks, too much sugar!

Yes please!
