I don’t but I’ll be go to hell if I let someone check if I do.

My doc tried the standard barky care line of annual physical questions and I refused every one of them. I also told him he should know better than to ask me those things.

Haven’t you heard? You can smoke all the pot you want and it cures cancer and doesn’t affect your performance in anyway.

I refuse to take a flu vaccine because they usually don’t prevent the flu and the injection has thermisol as an ingredient.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’m 60. Never had a flu shot, never gonna get one..

Plus, I don’t drink at all. Maybe I can sell some of you drunks a few drink credits.

Answers to those questions are right up there with “Do you have a gun at home.”. Get the same answer to both.

“How much alcohol do you have in your house?”

“Do you own a gun?”

“Are you a veteran?”

This way, please...

“As far as teens, the independent panel of medical experts came up empty. The task force said it did not find enough evidence to make a recommendation for or against alcohol screening and counseling for those under the age of 18. The panel is calling for more research.”

Did the “Onion” sneak that in?

Just don’t ask a sex partner if they have aids, or ask a gay man if he has random sex in public parks and lets strange men urinate on him, that’s all judgey...

Socialized medicine always was about a nanny state and control. Hitler would approve, he was anti-smoking.

See my #9.

It will start off at 15 per week, then drop to 2 per day, then 10 per week, then one per day, etc.

They did it with tobacco and BAC, now they are coming for you IN YOUR HOME and you don’t see it!

Freedom includes being free to make unpopular decisions. The gov’t is NOT our parent!

In my case, it is true.

I could never stand alcohol.
