Hi

I ignore all of these projects that come up with ridiculous advice.

In my time I have been a heavy drinker.....but never quite alcoholic.
Luckily I have always been able to handle booze.

As I've grown older I have drunk less...not because anyone told me to or because of stupid advice from so-called "experts".

At the moment I am trying to lose weight and so I have cut back on alcohol as a part of the exercise (no pun).

I was not obese but have lost 2 Stones. I have "treated" myself to a glass of red wine most evenings.

We go out to local restaurants occasionally when I have a pint of beer and a brandy or red wine with the coffee. I do cut back on the food and eat more healthily even in the restaurants.

I am 83 but I don't propose stopping the booze regardless of what these daft surveys say.

Cheers

Mike
