Here is some excellent news: "[R]esearch reported today in the journal Heart found that men who consume large or very large amounts of alcohol are least at risk of developing [coronary heart disease], which kills more than 90,000 Britons a year. Men who drink regularly, even in small quantities, are more than 30% less likely to suffer from heart disease, it found. But those who drink the most cut their risk by the most. Those classed as high consumers of alcohol, between 30 and 90 grams per day, had 54% less chance of getting the disease, while those deemed to have a very high intake, of more than 90 grams or at least eight glasses of wine a day, were 50% less likely."

Use a straw and hoover that shit.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
booze, booze, the magical food/
the more you have, the more you brood
the more you brood, the better you write/
so drink your bourbon every night
BUT NOT REALLY
No? Are you sure?
got writer's block? got bills to pay?/
drink your bourbon every day
but if your words get stuck/
nothing's better than a fuck/
with some gin-soaked butter faced bimbo/
to regurgitate those words from limbo
You're clearly drunk because the link doesn't work.
Blame the Guardian, not me! But it appears to be fixed now.
They have an excuse - they're British!

now you're telling me that vomiting is bad for me? Shit.
Only the kind hat happens when everything else has been "evacuated".
See "Kebabs" below.
Texting ex-boyfriends?
That isn't bad for your health. Just your dignity.

Kebabs!
ohmygod those russians who killed a dude and sold him to a kebab merchant. that's what you're thinking about, right?
Saw that! Goodbyyyyyye Halal food!
Decisions, decisions: Equinox ad on the left, Passages Malibu on the right, and Wild Turkey dead center.
It's not the booze that kills, it the cigs that the booze makes you smoke.
Hey Balk - the link in the story isn't correct (unless I can read further, how can I believe you?) ;)
I think they've fixed it now.
What if the researchers were shitfaced when they did the study?
Correlation is not causation. We alcoholics are already less likely to get heart disease because we drink because our hearts are already broken.
Is this the reason the price of bourbon has skyrocketed in the last year or so?
