An interesting article...especially if you have ever used the excuse "It's healthy"

What alcohol can do to your health

Alcohol makes you put weight on

The article explains how many empty calories there are in booze...considering what I drank it's a miracle I don't weigh 300 lbs!

Drinking made it impossible for me to quit smoking also. Put those two together and you arent gonna live to be a 100.

LaFemme,

Thanks for posting the link. That was an interesting article.

Interestingly, the article doesn't mention the immense damage problem-drinking does to your brain, and nervous system. These particular effects were very pronounced in my case... Somewhere along the way, I developed a nasty panic/anxiety disorder, as well as depression. I was a very social person when I started drinking, and according to my doctor, the problems I developed were most likely a result of damage done by being a drunk. Just another reason I reflect on to keep the plug in the jug.

Good point Greg...same thing happened to me...,depression and anxiety,...gone noe and probably the main reason I quit!
