Since I am overseas at the moment, it is indeed the cocktail hour......

Althought I find the folowing quote striking....." Those who abstain from alcohol tend to be from lower socioeconomic classes,since drinking can be expensive?"

And the following quote as humorous......"It can impair your memory severely and can lead to non-lethal falls and other mishaps like say,cheating on your spouse in a drunken haze,that can screw up your life."

[Ansley]

Who am I to argue scientific facts and booze under a microscope? I'll continue my risky life threatening behavior.... and not drink.

Supposedly controlled to normalize socioeconomic status & still the same results? THat surprised me. Absent that I can see how results make sense.

I wonder if the sample inculded a bunch of folks who abstained for religious reasons that for whatever reason were predisposed (genetic or lifestyle) to higher mortality rates?

Tell that to the Russians. And most other countries.

Well, there's your problem, m'lady....your just not drinking ENOUGH!!

Alcohol, my permanent accessory
Alcohol, a party-time necessity
Alcohol, alternative to feeling like yourself
O Alcohol, I still drink to your health

I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol

Forget the cafe latte, screw the raspberry iced tea
A Malibu and Coke for you, a G&T for me
Alcohol, Your songs resolve like
my life never will
When someone else is picking up the bill

I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol
O Alcohol, would you please forgive me?
For while I cannot love myself
I'll use something else

I thought that Alcohol was just for those with
nothing else to do
I thought that drinking just to get drunk
was a waste of precious booze
But now I know that there's a time
and there's a place where I can choose
To walk the fine line between
self-control and self-abuse

I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol
Would you please ignore that you
found me on the floor
Trying on your camisole?
O Alcohol, would you please forgive me?
For while I cannot love myself
I'll use something else.

Would you please forgive me (x2)

The choice for so many is:

A bottle in front of me or a frontal lobotomy.

Sadly, the choice for other men is:

You can either drink or keep a hard-on.

Yeah, this is me to a "T." And why I don't drink pre-session, but feel free to tip a glass after the lady and I have parted company.

....A good glass of red is only as good as your tipple partner
Sis...that master cleanse I just did is going to go to $hit if you keep teasing me

Kisses
