I have a timer dedicated to my drinking.
My doctor says the results are extremely terrifying. 
and do nothing
Words to live by!
Or to 
by?
I’m gonna die no matter what, I might as well be happy.
And I’ve outlived so many people I grew up with. I have no serious health problems, my liver is fine, yet I drink a lot and have done so since I was in my teens (I’m 65 now).
Furthermore, I’m not an alcoholic (I can and do stop drinking for a few weeks/months here and there with zero repercussions or cravings). My mind remains (reasonably) sharp. I just like good ales and wines, and I will enjoy them as much as my budget permits (and thankfully, it permits a damn good amount of enjoyment - and I don’t drink the cheap crap).
Good for you.
Stress on the “you” part because I want people (in the future) to know that we can’t all do this. Some of us will indeed have shorter lives as a result, whether through lack of health or an accident, or have worse lives due to addiction, less than great interactions with the ones we love, neighbours, colleagues, etc. etc.
You, friend, are one of surprisingly many exceptions, but I don’t think it’s 50/50.
That’s an interesting rationalization
I actually had the same sentiment for most of my life. A video I ran across a few years ago was an eye opener for me though. I know. Another video…but I bring it up because of your comment about your liver. Start the video from the beginning for the full meal deal, but if you want to forgo the blah blah stuff start at 13:50. It’s very interesting, and very enlightening information. If I would have known this stuff earlier in my life…This vid was actually all it took for me to stop drinking.
Hahaha. I knew that was coming
The alcohol changed your neural circuits. It actually created “I dont give a shit” circuits. Its unfortunate, but cool at the same time.
Give it a rest, Karen.
I’m no counselor. That much is obvious, but Its funny…clowns that is. Keep drinking, and have a happy life 
When you realize that they have tainted everything you eat and drink and even the air you breath you realize that these videos are meaningless.
Meaningless? Hahaha. Whatever.
By the way. Who is they?
All you have to do is learn. Study. Alcohol is probably the most studied substances ever. Its not rocket science anymore. Those who choose can hide, and hope for business as usual can try to justify their position, but its no secret anymore.
Ease your mind. Settle into silence. And simply do nothing.
