Each to their own and I hate smoking but have no issues if people want to smoke. My neighbour is 92 and drinks like a fish and smokes like a chimney - good for him!

Many GP’S actually recommend in moderation red wine.
You keep making the same points Al and making out it’s all to do with me being a non drinker.

It’s nothing of the sort, for every “tennis coach” you know who dropped dead early I know of more who’ve died due to liver and kidney disease due to alcohol.

It’s up to individuals to put into their body what they want to put in but the figures are the figures and alcohol related kidney and liver disease in women has grown exponentially in the last two decades and continues to do so.

I’m glad my daughters are only occasional, social drinkers and don’t keep alcohol at home.

I said prev, I have my own demons, I’m just about to reach for the choc chip cookies which are likely to help block my arteries.

The difference here is that I accept that I’m probably damaging health whereas daily alcohol drinkers tend to be in total denial.

It’s dead easy to get a liver function and liver fat scan done, it’d scare the s h I t out of many drinkers if they did these tests.
