Thought of one this morning... My AH has gout and he gets really bad flare ups from it. He often likes to point out that "it must have been that burger I ate last weekend." Me thinking, but not saying: "couldn't be the 20 beers you had last night."
I needed this thread, so thanks for everyone, for posting!

I think deep down they know they must have liver issues and that would make it worse. He also won't take psoriasis meds because of what they will do to you
Mine however does take milk thistle and all kinds of vitamins that are supposed to help your liver
my mother used to blame her frequent illnesses not on the alcohol in the glass, but the BAD ICE. i guess the bugs get frozen, but then once you drink and the ice melts, the bugs come out...........????

I'm a responsible man and do everything Im supposed to do (except stay sober) so I shouldn't have to cut down on my beer.
I'm a happy drunk, I don't need to cut down.
I only drink at home, I don't hurt anyone (whaaaattt?!) so I should be able to drink as much as I want.
At least I don't drink whiskey, then Id be a mean drunk, so you should be glad I drink beer (Im jumping with joy over here about that revelation.) I mean, how could I not be happy about that.
FWIW, he now cringes and shakes his head when he thinks about the crap he told himself, and me. He says he actually believed it, and couldn't understand why I didn't. His favorite line was the first one I listed. If I ever hear that line again Ill pull all my hair out!

"I only had ONE glass of wine!!" (Umm, that 'glass' hold 22 oz. of wine -almost an entire bottle!!)
"I'm only buying half the amount of bottles I used to!" (True, but now you buy the 1.5L bottles, which are the equivalent of TWO bottles!)

" I had to throw away the last glass i poured because the ice melted and it won't taste good.. so I'm going to pour another to replace it" (after he drank it all and the only thing left was the ice)
