Drinking for Health

Well, well, well. The researchers have found a tree, but they still can't see the forest.

Moderate drinking does not protect against death from heart disease, a new study suggests.

Of course moderate drinking isn't going to help you. All they do here is compare moderate drinkers to abstainers and find no health benefits. But they're totally ignoring heavy drinkers. Drinking heavily is an excellent long-term health plan. It's certainly better than exercise. Allow me to explain.

Your body is a very strong thing. It can handle a lot of abuse. Illness, however, is weak. Your body can take the alcohol, and the illness vibes can't. What do you think happens when you puke at the end of a binge drinking session? Not only that, but alcohol changes your body's wavelength to throw off the bad vibes.

As an added benefit, I'll relate a story I heard in college from a friend. That's right--you can keep your "studies" of "thousands of people" to yourself--this is a real-life story. This guy my friend knows wrapped his car around a telephone pole, and the alcohol relaxed his body so much that his spine didn't break. The doctors were absolutely right when they said that if he was sober he would have died. Moderate drinking wouldn't have been enough to save this young man's life.
