Popular Post save the frogs Posted Sunday at 01:19 AM Popular Post Share Posted Sunday at 01:19 AM there was a thread about this a while back. some people think drinking in the morning is perfectly fine in retirement as you've worked all your life and now you should be allowed to kick back. other people think you need help. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer kicking back a few (small) beers early daytime, gives me a nice appetite for lunch and no fog waking up in the morning. It's not a daily routine as sometimes I indulge in the afternoon, sometimes not at all. I won't deny perhaps I need help, but not about drinking beer. Guys in the movies seem to really enjoy hard liquor straight up, I don't see the pleasure. So, I stick with beer and wine. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impulse Posted Sunday at 01:46 AM Share Posted Sunday at 01:46 AM The appropriate response would have been to offer her a ride to the ER. She may need medical help. Lady obviously doesn't even know what country she's in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably have a small problem - but if you are healthy, who cares? personally, I rarely drink during the daytime and try not to drink at all 2 or 3 days a week to give my liver a rest 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveAustin Posted Sunday at 07:13 AM Share Posted Sunday at 07:13 AM ... the mistake was not telling her to go and do one. Surely much more satisfying than initial response? But, yes, proper beachbum. 😋 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ChaiyaTH Posted Sunday at 07:18 AM Popular Post Share Posted Sunday at 07:18 AM (edited) Most people are just simpletons, judging on stereotype lifestyles that in reality suck and seem to kill people more likely earlier than that it makes them live longer. I mean as simple as this: people waking up at 9:00 who then decide to get a beer or wine at the terrace at 15:00 would not even be frowned upon twice. A person who wake up daily at 04:00 and does the same thing at 10:00 would be considered a alcoholic, idiot, etc etc etc. I can see people look even I drink at like 13:00-14:00 on week days, them not knowing I already did my 6 hour work day that very morning. Tons of benefits to drinking earlier too, if you not continue until you sleep, the alcohol wears off way before you do go to sleep and you can almost me guaranteed to wake up fresh and without any hangover again, the next morning. This as a result of better sleep. And not need to deal with annoying night time drunks, the real stereotype. It can be cheaper too as of happy hours, you can get better seats, you can get cheaper and nicer day time ladies for pleasure, and the list goes on and on.

More than 2 beers a week is bad for you. Having stress is actually worse, so it is all relative, as that is just one example. A life long sitting job career also reduces life with up to 5-6 years. In most blue zones in the world, were people get the oldest by far, they drink a lot of wine and beer. Wine from lunch is the standard, not the exception. And guess what: over 50% of the people have obesitas, they have a lot of stress and they also mostly sit on their ass all day. Yet almost nobody would point that out.

Popular Post Hummin Posted Sunday at 07:33 AM Popular Post Share Posted Sunday at 07:33 AM In my mid 50ies, more or less stopped drinking before 50, and in better shape than ever since my late 20ies. Incredible how much time and energy socializing with alchohol take away from a sustainable healthy lifestyle. Everything most expats do in Thailand is combined with alchohol. Very few socializing arenas I have found except going to the gym is linked to drinking. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More or less stopped drinking allow a sharing bottle of quality wine once and awhile, or a beer or two with my buddies. If I drink 5 units or more at Saturday, I can still feel it monday and thuesday. Can take a week before I can do a max lift again in the gym. Thats how bad alchohol can bee and feel for some.

Now the shrewdest of our ANF Life Coaches have always promoted that short but happy life ending with a smile on one's face during a bonk. Longer life merely means a longer time suffering in the bedsit. Healthy lifestyle = stress. We all know of The Guys: The Guys I know some guys who seemed healthy but have already died. As opposed to our guarantor, The Relative: The Relative A relative of mine did nothing special and lived to 95. Oh, I will too. It's me genes. What's ignored by our Medicated Lifestyle proponents is that chasing after docs, meds, hospitals, insurance, paying medical bills, carrying around a belly, suffering premature physical and mental decline, pain controlled by medication. When you think about it, the quality achieved becomes rather doubtful . . . Edited Sunday at 08:21 AM by BigStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
