I had two beers during the Super Bowl and now, the Philadelphia Eagles are the world champions. Lesson learned.

Al’s still there. Willard Scott used to do the Smuckers 100th birthday shtick. Lots of folks attributed there longevity to a daily shot of whiskey.Willard once made reference to a Jack Daniels diet: lose 40 pounds and your driver’s license in 6 months. Funny guy.

Laws that prohibit things do not take away the risk of misuse by someone.

The one sure way to get someone to do something (even if it's harmful to themselves) is to tell them they can't.

Was this article sponsored by the UAW (United Alcohol Workers) ?

I’ve never noticed anyone get belligerent smoking pot.

I agree. Pot tends to make people docile and disengaged. My pet theory is that’s why the Soros left pushes pot so much. They want a population that’s stoned and docile and won’t fight back against the crap they’re pulling.

Disengaged? When I was much younger and smoked weed my girlfriend(s) and I would bang each others brains out. Whatever band I was playing with(I used to play the drums) we'd rehearse or play for hours.

There are exactly 195 nations in the world today. This “study” purports that it was carried out in all of them.
Every single one.
Bovine Excrement!

First they came after tobacco and now they come after alcohol. Is sex next?

The nanny-state liberty-robbing leftists are taking away straws, plastic bags, tobacco and soon, alcohol, while supporting pot. I suspect the pot is part of their inspiration.

Must be almost as dangerous as large soda pops...why not just outlaw the whole soda pop deal instead of just limiting the amount that can be sold in one container?

Are you for real?

Once again, the Constitution has no "Noble Cause" clause and it's really disturbing to have folks who claim to believe in Constitutional Law and FReedom coming up with "pet peeves" they think it's OK for the government to enact to satisfy them - no different than those who want to ban guns...try investing yourself in the deal (donations/time, etc.) as there's nothing like having actual skin in the game to help one's mind work right.

Did anyone mention 2 drinks per day can stop the average Joe from slapping the $#it out of someone? As George Carlin once said " it's called happy hour for a reason"

Causes of premature death....

Gay sex is what they should be warning about and publishing statistics through the Dep. of Health.

It greatly shortens the male lifespan, like 9 years.

Want to have some politically incorrect fun, research that topic

Yikes, it is much higher than that. This needs a thread of its own. But for now, we can fore warn folks right here on what not to do if they want to live a long and healthy life.

What is the average lifespan of a gay man in North America?

Alejandro Franceschi, Volunteer for GLAAD & GLAAD Gala Awards | LGBTQA Member of the community

According to a number of researchers and the CDC, the lifespan of an average, gay, Caucasian male, is about 20 years less than a heterosexual man born in approximately the same year.

Increased HIV/AIDS, lower intestinal diseases, STD’s, drug abuse, suicide and homicide likely are the biggest factors.

But 100% of us won’t be dying in the next year. Certain behaviors and exposures will increase the odds of dying during that period. But you knew that.

Nor will 100% of us won’t be dying in the next year just because because we poured a dram of scotch or enjoyed a nice glass of cabernet with our meals. Did you know that?

I have a glass of wine every year or so, so this is not about me.

This study is as trustworthy as all the other studies which find that it is good for you, bad for you, good for you, bad for you.

Reality: moderate use of alcohol is no worse than all the other indignities we hurl at our bodies. The poison is soon eliminated from the body by healthy liver and kidneys and we’re OK. The problem is keeping it moderate.
