I guess there's nothing new here but still pretty terrifying:

Surmounter, Saturday, 29 December 2007 21:34 (eighteen years ago)

Less terrifying than that announcement that William "the Bloody" fucking Kristol is being added as a regular op-ed columnist. Please let it mean that David Brooks drowned in his own ferret vomit.

Stop after one or two drinks. Studies of the Mediterranean diet have shown that one or two drinks on a consistent basis leads to a longer life than pure teetotaling.

after decades of bingeosity, this is pretty much my deal these days

If it meant I could binge drink on NYE without destroying my brain they could hire Michael Savage for all I care.

xpost but gershy you're still fucked! Unless you exercise maybe.

consolation is that half the country is fucked.

Surmounter, Saturday, 29 December 2007 21:42 (eighteen years ago)

My drinking patterns are so bizarre that I fancy that they would defy science, or anything that could conceivably be learned from mouse-torture, for that matter. Plus, seeing as I'm eighty-four years old, this is all kind of irrelevant from my perspective.

A few years ago I saw an interview with one of the actors from the movie "The Last House on the Left"; it was one of the creepy villain guys (dude also composed all of the music for the film)...anyway, he talked about how around that period he would drink a case of beer every morning or some other ridiculous equivalent, but then he would go work out and play rugby, so to his mind at the time it all seemed okay.

Do you guys like Martwinkies? They're really good! Vermouth plus sponge cake, yum...

seven years pass...

New study... i had a night almost three years ago that sent me to the ER, so the "middle-aged, non-alcoholic" group deaths ring true with me. I've altered my behavior since. Please take care of yourselves.
