I've had a beard since Easter 1967 when I was hitch-hiking round Ireland and cut my thumb on my (safety!)razor. I wear sandals most of the time nowadays because of damage to my feet caused by safety(!) boots - the only toe that's ok is the one that minor surgery. I drink real ale (and continental lagers, white beers, dunkels etc) and single malt whiskies. Don't smoke and hardly ever wear a jumper becausde it's too warm this far south (Chester). About the only time I cup my hand over my ear when I'm singing is if I'm in a choir and I'm too near the tenors.
