I like to drink when I go out with my friends, about twice a week, but will this affect me when I'm older?

Question

I know alcohol isn't very healthy & isn't good for your system, but can you get any diseases or cancer from it when you get old?

Answer 1

this is close subject 2 me as someone in my family suffers from alcoholism, if you don't go 2 OTT, as in drinking every day even in small amounts you should be fine if your just like me drinkin with your pals once or twice a week you'll not end up with liver failure or other problems caused by alcohol, so you can still have fun! xx

Answer 2

If you're talking about 1 or 2 bottles of wine a week, not a big deal. We are not puritanical but wouldn't drink everyday or even use drugs. I have hung around Malays and Pakistanis who smoke pot and enjoy a double rye highball now and then.

Answer 3

A drink or two twice a week won't cause any harm (moderation) However, excessive consumption is said to cause liver disease. Hey, my grandmother is 92 and when she occassionally gets her shot of booze she feels good. MODERATION...

Answer 4

Done in moderation, it's good for the spirits, the economy, your health and digestion, and, according to the alcoholic beverages producers of the world, it makes the world go 'round.

Just don't overdo!

Best wishes!

Answer 5

Not if you drink in moderation. Of course if you have a history of associated medical problems in your family it might have a factor.

The politically correct will preach to you that the alcohol is killing you, don't listen to them andlive your own live.
