I don't like to brag, but I'm a very high-functioning alcoholic.

About twenty years ago a local radio station interviewed a guy who just turned 100. Other than being a little hard of hearing the guy clearly still had his mental faculties. They asked h8m his secret. Answer: 2 beers per day. Every day. No more, no less.

I also have a relative who turned 100 this year (she lives in another state and I was out of town when she came into town to celebrate her birthday). She still has her faculties and still gets around without physical assistance (no walker or wheelchair). Out of caution she takes a driving test every year. In her 99th year she told my mom that the DMV agent who administered her test told her she drives better than most of the other people he's tested over the years.

When you see pictures of anybody from the 60s or 70s, even 80s....pictures of people at parties, at their home, vacations, etc.....what do you see?

a cigarette in 1 hand and a drink in the other.

It has to be challenging to determine how much alcohol generates a greater risk of disease such as cancer, etc. when it's hard to separate alcohol from tobacco, poor diet, obesity, other drugs, lack of exercise, etc.

It has to be very difficult to isolate alcohol from those other factors.
