Which is why if one takes alcohol as a medicine/tonic it can be useful. The Bible says a little wine for your stomach.

a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy

Here, here! And on that score, remember to take a bottle
by the neck, and a lady by the waist - never vice-versa.
(from a Somerset Maugham short story)

[Bob434]

The Israelites weren’t too concerned with it- we all die- God made the vine to cheer the hearts of man- some countries you can’t drink the water, so they drink wine- they aren’t too concerned about what it does to them- Do we really wanna live a few more years too old to move and take care of ourselves anyways? Life isn’t so great when you’re bed ridden and propped up on a pillow- Enjoy it while you’re young

[[It’s a scourge upon mankind, with no other drug comparing to it’s destruction.]]

God didn’t take that attitude towards it (Towards alcoholism yes, but not towards casual drinking)

Everyone who has eaten carrots will eventually die.

He was playing Devil’s advocate. At least that’s how I read it.

And they’re even older now.

My response to that would have been, “You’ve got a deal!”

>>a major study on drinking in 195 nations that attributes 2.8 million premature deaths worldwide each year to booze.

and how many million die from preventable abortions every year worldwide?

This article brought to you by the Funless And Repressed Taskforce. (FART for short)

There is a 100% certainty of physical death. Living a joyless, uber-healthy life will not change that, except it might make those around you wish it to happen sooner!

I once read an article where someone in their nineties, in a nursing home, called their long life “a punishment.” Having spent some time in nursing homes, I don’t disagree. I’d rather check out earlier and have a little enjoyment along the way rather than preserve myself like a mummy and languish for years in the care of the best caretakers minimum wage can buy.

And yes, I’ve had a large glass of white tonight, thank you very much.

“attributes 2.8 million premature deaths worldwide each year to booze.”

2,800,000 / 7,442,000,000 = 0.03762% of the world’s population

55,300,000 people die every year

2,800,000 / 55,300,000 = 5.063% of the annual deaths worldwide

[Psalm 144]

Muzzie metrics.

Fewer people are smoking so the commies have to find something else to tax. First, they have to declare it dangerous to your health. I see where this is going.

Why do you think Jimmy Carter was afraid of a rabbit with carrots on the breath?

Let's get the scientists to develop the perfect diet for each and every person. If any person does not eat the exact food and drink at the exact times and dates prescribed then that person will be less healthy than they could be.

This will of course lead to this person increasing his/her chance of contracting some medical condition. Since everyone will be insured (because that's the obviously most scientific way to run a country) then this will impact everyone as everyone's insurance rates will get bumped up.

So in order to be good citizens we will all need to follow our prescribed diets meticulously.

Oh what a brave new world that will be!
