Drink up... that is if you want to live a few years longer.

damn, that's surprising...

I'm on my third beer right now.

Hardcore alcoholics always have perfectly clear arteries.

Their livers on the other hand...

After 20 years of heavy drinking, I look like BFT3K's monkey avatar, with a little more hair up top.

Finally I read some positive news on this board :) Spunky will be delighted.

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Maybe this is why I've never gotten too sick to have to go to a Dr. or Hospital..

p.s. My dad is 60 but he looks like 40 and is healthy as a 25 year old..

Huge increase in liver disease here recently.

heh 2 bottles of delicious gin just arrived, cheers :)

Am I reading over the part where they define heavy drinker? Im sure there is a bell curve.

My uncle was a heavy drinker. Around his 40th birthday, he decided to change his habits and stop drinking. Shortly thereafter, he died of a massive heart attack. Doctors said he had four blockages, and that the beer he drank kept his blood thin enough to flow through the blockages. Once he stopped drinking, the blood thinkened, and could no longer flow properly, resulting in his heart attack.

Scary ass shit, I'm getting a drink...

These few years are wasted for drinkers anyways...

Did they filter out DUI's?

i will live forever

:banana . .

does past drinking count towards residual life-lengthening? If so, i should live forever... otherwise I'm fucked because I don't touch the demon alcohol anymore. :helpme
