No one in our family has ever needed to cling to a telephone pole on the way home after drinking too much alcohol. Rather, we have long held that moderate amounts of alcohol can be healthy. But are we right? Now, a new Canadian report claims more than one or two drinks a week increases the risk of health problems, such as heart disease, stroke and cancer.
Professor Dan Malleck of Brock University, who specializes in alcohol regulation, and who has written several books on this topic, is skeptical of these generalized guidelines. He says they remind him of the Temperance Movement of long ago. Moreover, he states, the study used relative rather than absolute risk. This means that just three ounces and a half of alcohol shockingly increases the risk of larynx cancer by nearly 100 per cent! But this cancer is known to be primarily related to the smoking of tobacco.

My wife and I will celebrate our 64th wedding anniversary in June of this year. We always have a glass of wine before sitting down to diner. She just turned 85 and I will be 87 . She is a wizard at crossword puzzles and I am totally literate in computer use. May the good LORD shine his face upon you and give you his peace.return94

Well, now I know why my mother, who didn't drink, lived to the ripe old age of 101, while my grandmother, who had the habit of a good night drink every evening only made it to 96.

I let you know after about 8 beers or so. Now I just have to figure out what's for dinner.
