the latest new one MHPV or something like it.

 

It's actually HMPV (Human Metapneumonia Virus) Been around for decades. 1^st identified in 2001 and can be traced back to the 70's so it's endemic. Like covid for most people it's a non-severe virus.

Liver and kidney according to the missus. Interestingly there's been quite a lot of diabetes related deaths around the village recently. As for alcohol being a poison, yep. Ethanol is a poison but the liver deals with it. The liver, however, can only do so much hence drinking in moderation. To say even one glass is harmful I guess it is in a way but overall the the liver can handle it. It's when someone drinks too much and/or too constantly that the liver has problems metabolizing ethanol.

 

Not easy to compare East with West in this regard. Lao kao aside, Thailand's sky high rates of liver cancer often involve history of hepatitis, plus there are dietary factors such as dishes like koi plaa which causes liver flukes.

maybe you can get away with a couple of drinks a week without any negative impact. 

 

or try your luck drinking daily if you're feeling lucky, punk.

 

 

 

I like this famous scene(at the end of the first episode of Dirty Harry19）.

Time for me to have one little drink. Hmmm maybe two. Maybe more but most definitely NOT any non-alcoholic rubbish.

Last time I checked, death was 100% guaranteed, so there's little point worrying about. Especially at my age!

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

Not many lao khao drinkers get old. That shts poison.

 

 

It's not the Lao khao per se , it's the quantity they drink. Same as vodka , tequila, gin ,rum etc. 

 

If you hammer any hard alcohol from dusk till dawn you are not long for this earth.

 

Better to not touch any alcohol or drug at all. Even excessive carpet munching has been found to be detrimental to health.

 

It's a wonderful  life if you don't  weaken.

you can drink and do drugs as long you have good genes and also have resources. Most people do not have that kind of resources and not able to go to rehab and clean up both body and mind. 

 

It helps to have an passion and a strong mind as well will to live.

 

Keith Richards, it is a miracle he is still alive, if he is real, and not just an rockn roll actor. Anyway, he is an legend who is still walking and even playing at an age of 81. 

His mate Ronnie Wood is not doing to bad either .....he drinks just as much as Keith I beleive? 😆
