I think one of the big reasons is that heavy drinkers tend to get dumped by their spouses.

This unshackled freedom is key to longevity.

Ayala?

I recently decided to cut back on my drinking during the week and become more of a weekend warrior.

Not going to happen now. LOL

Perhaps heavy drinkers just 'pickle' their bodies and internal organs thus preserving them?

My father sure drinks a fair bit of spirits and his health amazes me. Cholesterol levels way down, kidney and liver function normal as well as blood pressure.

Go figure!?

More and more I learn about the benefits of a little bit bit of dranky drank in the evening.

I'll drink to that!

I'll also drink to that..
