observer Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 So, we're being told now, that drinking alcohol can shorten your life; so something else to avoid in the quest for immortality ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latchford Locks Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Sick to the back teeth of this nanny state interference one thing after another. My Grandad smoked 20 Woodbine a day and called in the Cheshire Cheese on his way home from work for a few pints. He left this mortal coil at the age of 76.. That's not bad going without any statins/sugar police/fat controllers/ etc etc etc That would do me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 My grandad was 90 odd when he died...smoked woodbines too but from about the age of 9, served in France in WW1 and walked up to the Imperial on Bewsey Road most days up until he died, again for a few pints.... boiled sheeps heads on the gas cooker at home and ate all sorts of food we would simply cringe at today....My great Uncle, served on board HMS Canada during WW1 and saw action at Jutland against the Kaisers fleet, lived on Bagot avenue and walked to St Albans club on Bewsey Road and smoked a pipe... he was 100 when he died.... The problem is today that the government try all sorts of things to keep us alive longer but then give you a miserable existence once they have managed to extend your life... might as well enjoy it and live it to the full.... because you never know when your game is up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy51 Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 I suppose this scaremongering is just another thin ended wedge towards private medical treatment.....we told you about obesity, drink, smoking ,you took no notice so you will have to pay for treatment.

Bill Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Well it was only a one and a half pint drinking session last night so hopefully I've gained some longevity. I went to that newish pub at the junction of Winwick Road and Cromwell Avenue. Can't remember it's name but wont forget the size of the plate pie they served me. Nice but so ridiculously big I only managed to eat half of it and probably wont need to eat again for a week now. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 While the way you live your life and the amount you smoke and drink can damage your health and wealth and have an impact on how long you will live - it is mainly down to your genes and DNA on how long your are likely to live.

middlec Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 I think it was Groucho Marx who was quoted as saying in his latter years he was ordered not to drink alcohol, or smoke cigars and have muesli for breakfast and fruit juice, no coffee, and no fried foods etc. He said he was told at the time it may make him live longer, whether true or not, he said it will certainly seem longer!

Bazj Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Practically, everything in life is a risk. Worst of all is to be alive... because by being alive there is the risk that you could die! When you leave your house, the risk is that you might never return!

Bazj Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I had this discussion the other day with my wife.... what on earth is the point in doctors being able to bring you back from the point of death, only for the extended life to be spent sat in a chair in front of the TV while you dribble constantly into a cup of cold tea for 5 more years?
