Always liked a tipple, but mainly at weekends. On a Friday after work the wife & I would open a bottle of fizz, then later more wine with our meal, Saturday would be something similar, perhaps a liquid lunch. Kind of got into a habit, we thought this was nothing out of the ordinary.
Watching a program on telly lately about the hazards of alcohol & to say it was an eye opener, was an under statement. I thought I was pretty well up on the subject & I did know things that was discussed.
NOW! The part that shocked me & it was aimed at drinkers who drank regularly, like every day & not huge amounts either was how the body reacted in the gut with excess alcohol, & apart from the poisons formed, the bodies poop, yes poop, escaped into the blood system.. Now I'm not exactly a medical expert, but this is not good, is it?
Believe it or not, the wife and I have been on a health kick for several weeks & have been alcohol free for some time before we actually viewed this. I'm under the Doc for man trouble & I'm carrying a few more pounds than I should. There are other factors, but I'm off the drink for the foreseeable future.
Anyone thinking along the same lines.....
