My dad was drunk a lot.

I have never been interested in alcohol.

Nope. I need booze to forget I’m momentarily living in a nightmarish commie regime.

Can Leftists give up latte’s for a month?

Can teen girls give up nude selfies for a month?

Can reporters give up lying to my face for a month?

Until then, me and Captain Morgan will watch the sun set over the Gulf, thank you very much.

I often do go a month without booze, but when I want a drink, screw anyone that says I shouldn’t.

We have life too easy. If people had to work hard just to feed themselves they wouldn’t have time to be busybodies and get into other people’s business.

Articles like this drive me crazy. Drinking alcohol does not equal drunk.

I’ve only in my life had a small taste of beer and whiskey. My reaction was to both: Pour that stuff back in the horse.

I can probably go another 70+ yrs without it—LOL!

If you can’t give up drinking for a month, you really need to give up drinking. That said, I find all these suggestions to donate to charity somewhat offensive and/or intrusive, unless they’re coming from my spiritual advisor. You give up drinking for a month, you go ahead and spend your beer money on whatever you damn well please.

Not a problem. I inherited a pre-disposition to migraine headaches and, for me at least, alcohol is one of the triggers. Told my doctor about it, and he gave me a prescription for some pills. The bottle says “Do not use alcohol while taking this medication”.

I started drinking fairly heavily after living in Kentucky for a while. I have lots of fancy crystal decanters and, for a myriad of other reasons found myself having at least one drink every night and often having three or four.

I also noticed after a year that my once normal blood pressure had gone to a fairly stable 160 over 100. I even went on medication for it. Then one day I read an article about the connection between alcohol and blood pressure. I stopped drinking for a couple of weeks but didn’t notice an improvement. However, I figured it might take a while to matter so I went a couple more months. Then one day I thought, “Hey, it’s been a long time, I wonder if it’s working.” I took my blood pressure and it was absolutely normal. My wife and I thought the machine was haywire so we took it several times as well as took hers. It didn’t vary.

I’m gonna start drinking heavily to get my blood pressure back up, though. I understand you can get pretty good disability for it. ;-)

18 hours for me!

I don’t drink a lot (2 per day), but I do drink every day, circumstances permitting. I look forward to 5 oclock and spend an hour sipping Elisha Craig 12 yo bourbon on crushed ice.

And I intend to continue doing so as long as I am able.

2 weeks before my father died, he and I split a bottle of his favorite beer....with his doctor’s approval & all of us knowing time was short. He enjoyed it and it meant a lot to both of us to share it at that time.
