      Really our normalization of drinking needs to be re-examined.

      I remember thinking all the anti smoking stuff wouldn’t change anything. I was wrong. We really can change.

          for me it was my realization that some of my drinking was a mental illness (I was never an alcoholic but I was self medicating with alcohol)

          I feel so much better now I have one or two beers every few weeks

      That’s amazing. I once had a patient who was 93 and very angry to be admitted to hospital because he still had a part time janitorial job he didn’t want to miss. The Dutch are very long lived. Your lady must have been Dutch.
