I'd better start choosing the funeral music.

If you blast it every Friday and Saturday night on umpteen rounds and Jaegers, and maybe drink pints after work in the week too, I think you secretly know it's going to catch up with you at some point, don't you?
I don't think walking the dog to the pub of a Sunday for a few beers and some footy is going to hurt anyone.

Surely we don't all want to live till we're 150 anyway, and we'd actually like to enjoy life.
According to medical research absolutely everything causes cancer, so you might as well do whatever you like on moderation.

This war on alcohol is all a load of bollocks.
its either an attempt to get everyone ready for yet more tax being slapped on alcohol.
or maybe it's to appease a certain section of society?

It's probably to try and ease the burden on the NHS more than anything.
Good point about living to 150. Who wants to have that long a life when you're just sitting or laying around unable to do anything trapped in a wrecked body?

Which section of society? Juice bar owners?
You know you sound like a nutter with such ridiculous conspiracy theories?

It is obviously an attack on western culture secretly initiated by some sort of sect that bars alcohol consumption.

Or it is just accurate medical advice nigh on everyone will ignore.
Like all the other medical advices that get ignored.

I've lost track of what's bad for you and what isn't. They keep changing their minds. Alcohol's bad for you yet the red wine grape in champagne inhibits Alzheimer's. Drink champagne, they say.
Given that our brains start going a bit odd after you're 80 (although judging by some of the posts here, that might happen in the early 20s) do you need to live to 100.
80 odd will do me......

I love the way these pronouncements come out, like you are able to live forever.
The Chief Medical Officer for England was on the telly earlier saying so many women would get breast cancer and so many men would get bowel cancer, does she not realise that we ALL die and our deaths are normally caused by something in our bodies not working as it should or not at all?!?!
We die, something will kill us, be it cancer, the bus or the husband of the bird i'm poling, fucking get over yourself and fucking enjoy your life.

This should get the resounding "FUCK OFF!" it deserves.
"Everything in moderation" works just fine.
BUTT OFF with your flavour-of-the-month pet theories and go and study something useful to society.
6 pints indeed. Blow it out your arse.

At one point I probably averaged around 100 pints and 7 bottles of vodka a week and have managed to get to 41, so I reckon the medical officer is a cunt!
Depends on the person, so things like this are always nonsense.

Loved Farage's article... ha ha ha

"Do what you enjoy - and I think to basically tell us that any form of drinking is likely to lead to our death is just so over the top that we will probably behave in the opposite way. I certainly will at midday today."
