Andagain

When I was taken to hospital a few years ago I said that to the doctor and in his opinion it doesn't make as much difference as people think. It's more than people who are older tend to get sick just due to the amount of years drinking. I dunno, I'm not a doctor. I think it's one of those things where there's so many factors that its nearly impossible to guess what damage is being done. You've got age, genetics (I've read studies which suggest ethnicity is even a factor in processing alcohol), how you drink, how much, how long, how big you are, how much you weigh, your nutritional intake, other medical conditions. Unfortunately how we react to alcohol seems like very much a random roll of the dice. Although I do think there's something in the genetics, both my brothers and several other family member have almost identical mental health and drinking problems.
