Doctor, Doctor! Gimme the News!


"A lot of research shows that people who drink moderately flat-out live longer than those who don't," [Dr.]Lloyd tells Page Six.

I got bad case of believing you!

That "don't" is ambiguous.

It could be "people who don't drink" (like at all) or "people who don't drink MODERATELY" (like several students I've had the misfortune to have in my 8am Friday classes some years).

I dunno. I've given up on the what will kill you/what will make you live to be 120 food-news because they change it every damn week and I was getting mental whiplash.

"Moderate" drinking? Alas, that excludes your entire clan, Sis. I hope Mr. Bingley has already reserved his cemetary plot.

I think people who don't drink are always in the same place in their mind.It is like a magnifying glass on a piece of paper. The intensity of the sun will set the paper on fire.It will also burn a hole in one's chromosomes and cause disease.This can be
nullified by religious believes or ethical behavior.
but without that it is actually deterimental to one's health to always be in the same place in one's mind.It's either that or wild sex.But,booze
makes that better,too.

Of COURSE you realize THIS MEANS WAR!!!

War, Sis? All you need do is become moderate drinkers! That'll be hard for The Bingster, but I'm sure you can do it!

Here's how I look at it...I can give up drinking, smoking and eating red meat and I'll live longer. But that just means I'll live that many more years deprived of my favorite things. Screw that.

This is great news for all of us driven to drink by the first two months of Obamarama. This must be the health-care reform that he's been talking about.

"I can give up drinking, smoking and eating red meat and I'll live longer."

Nah, it will just seem longer.
