Alcohol and seniors

If God had not intended us to drink, then he would not have given us the brains to figure out how to make it.

So I guess I feel it is my duty to partake. And think about how the politicians are always spouting about "jobs, jobs, jobs" Think of all the jobs the industry supports!!

And many dont know me well yet, but just a warning, I dont treat many subject too seriously! :)
 

I have a glass or two of wine almost every evening. I genuinely enjoy the complex flavors of the big reds and really enjoy discovering wines from smaller wineries in the US, as well as Italy.

That explains why I do not like those types of foods. Nothing againts those that do, I like my food fresh, not fermented.
 

Yes to all forms of alcohol - wine, beer, spirits - in moderation - but I have a very low tolerance and get tipsy fast - which would make me a cheap date, ha ha. I don't think it matters to me whether or not wine is good for me, I would drink it anyway because I like it. There are other things that I can eat that are good for the heart - like garlic. It is quite acceptable to smell garlic on people nowadays, since the chef cooking thing includes garlic in so many recipes. So garlic and wine in my pasta sauce for a healthy heart. But I'm slightly off topic.
 
I have never drank, or smoked, I'm the eldest of eight children and seen way to much abuse and neglect as a result of parents drinking as a child, I declared from an early age never to touch anything stronger than Coke or lemonade
My husband has a drink now and then and I don't mind him having it as long as he knows when to stop!!

There should be a worldwide 20% discount on all alcohol for anyone over 60.

I like that idea! My husband brews beer in the garage and it's really good. Mostly IPAs. We go to a chain restaurant pub here that offers a huge variety of ales and beers and changes often. The American IPAs are good! And low prices.

I'm a cheap date as well although I've built up a tolerance for beer in the last few years....unfortunately as it has so many calories.
