all that health rubbish, the problem is not the alcohol or tobacco or any other substance the human man kind consumes since 1000s of years...
the problem is the bad and unhealthy food most of us eat and the 'shit' put into tobacco, alcohol and other things that don't belong there...
plus that our modern understanding of health and the health system turns us into little babies that are not able anymore to take responsibility for ourselves... plus our comfort, lifts, cars, escalators turns us into lazy, sloppy / fat unhealthy bastards...
that is what i think, continue... my hero was an uncle of mine, he turned 97 was drinking and smoking like a hellraiser until his death, but ate beautifully and lived on the 5th floor without a lift, he was jumping up the stairs until his last day like a young gazelle... every single day carrying the shopping...
another example... go to the east of europe... they drink like hell and are fit and healthy (and turn real old), because they eat stuff from farms and gardens instead of supermarkets and they are not so what i call 'domestificated' yet (from the word 'domestos' used to be a hardcore bleach cleaner) from our modern way of life... they still life way, way more in harmony with the nature.
sub, go and talk to people working in the emergency room at your local hospital, and you will change your idealized assumptions about drugs, tobacco and alcohol.
I am totally in favour of personal freakout, substance-induced hallucinationing and a regular weed-sofa-in-the-brain. But I believe it's unhealthy. At least as unhealthy as ice-cream or chocolate cake.
well anything is unhealthy, that is why i don't stop... i don't seek a healthy life, i seek a life full of pleasures.
and all i can say from my perspective is that genuine (emphasis is on genuine / real / truthfully) happy people get old and stay healthy...
and i know that pleasure makes me happy and not counting calories or proof of alcohol percentage or the like
and to each his own... and nothing is secure anyway...
it can turn into a long discussion why do I believe those people are in the hospital...
i had a very striking experience with doctors when i was around 20 years of age, i never visited yet a doctor again in 20 years and i have no intention to ever go to one again as long as i life...
i personally have never been better since i don't see them anymore...
