Falling is commonplace after 70 - when the balance thing in your brain goes haywire. My friends husband is 81 and has this problem - daily drinker but everyone agree to leave him alone to enjoy his last couple years.

At last, someone speaking sense! just drink 3 or 4 days a week and 99% of you will be fine. Balance with the other stuff mentioned (water etc.). good luck!

Thank you for sharing. Thousands of years after Jesus turned water into wine, we don't need to worry too much IF we lead a balanced life. Enjoy your wine! Cheers!

Sure! If you balance your life, why not? plenty of water helps and sleep of course. There is way too much proselytising on here, IMHO. Do everything in a balanced way - this includes, alcohol, sex, chocolate, driving at speed etc.

Thank you - I never drink during the daytime, nor every day. Despite your attempts to paint me or anyone else as alcoholic because you feel so smug being teetotal. My father drank daily and died at 92 - Rods Stewart is still a major rock star and is 80. Churchill managed, and won WW2, and drank far too much. You are oversimplifying it to justify your personal choices. Cheers!

I agree three days a week off is wise, but there is NO one way that suits all. Some are genetically stronger than others; some drink beer/wine, not whisky, and some drink plenty of water. MANY variables.

And what? You come across as very self-righteous and pompous. Nothing worse than a preacher.

I don't know anyone who supports that, and the only people who claim it are the losers at the election. How about park the hyperbole?

He was an appalling President with thousands of deaths in his disgusting hands. And I believe he is blissfully unaware of it.

Not necessarily. Why label people? Are people who have sex every day are addicted? I drink water every day. What does that prove? I agree daily is probably unwise, but I don't think Rod is an alcoholic, and at 80, who cares?

No idea, but at 80, he's doing really well... He mentioned his wine drinking on this interview with Dan Rather:

A troll nothing burger post as usual.

I agree on quality, not quantity. Rod Stewart is still going strong and drinks a bottle of wine a day.

This is ridiculous I can say in decades of dating I have never looked at a date and thought, "Jeeeze, did she vote for Clinton"? Number one TIT and I assume 99% of our dates are with Thais. If I like her I'm thinking how to get her knickers off not if she votes.

No alarms? RIP

Yes, that too!!! Cheese with a glass of Chianti? What better? I'd rather die at 75 drinking and enjoying red wine rather than 80 and living like a pious monk. But everyone can decide and we should respect everyone's choice just that I dont want to go partying with a teetotaler, thank you very much, haha. Imagine it, a fabulous date; she loves to try the wine - we go to the restaurant, order four cheese pizza - and WATER. Yes right - I wont be getting laid that night that's for sure.

It's no one's fault these things happen, and they have for thousands of years. Planning is the way to mitigate them, something Newsome will have no clue about. He is more worried about Trans toilets than disaster management.

Newsome is gruesome! what a farce and my heart goes out to those that are suffering.

UK is down the toilet and thank God I moved here. The world is, frankly, on the slide just about everywhere.

Of course, Starmer is so much better, right? or Truss? Boris even? people who live in glass houses...

We don't know yet what his second term will be like. If he halts Biden's war in Ukraine, he will go down as a hero in history—if he doesn't, he will be seen as useless, too. We shall see soon enough.

Love it - don't think too much enjoy life! wine, woman and song you can't live forever

I think this works well for me, too. 4 nights on 3 nights off

Biden is an embarrassment who is being told what to say and do by others. Biden's legacy is stupidity, laziness and incompetence.

THEY LOVE TO PAY HIGH TOO!
