if you can afford to drink too much beer, you are doing better than 90% of the rest of the world.
Before the world became overpopulated with humans:
Men used to live their lives devoid of all the fears of SWMBO and the health industry. they lived extraordinary lives and died younger. now we live longer, boring and over-comfortable lives; controlled by mass media and women that tell you how much you can drink, brew, breathe, and fart. how to dress, cut your hair, smell, and when its appropriate to have more than 1 beer. call me what you want, but I gotta go out on my own terms. even if its lonely and with failing organs.
I'm sure a lot of people that we hold in high regards throughout history were major drunk bastards. the perception of health in today's society is completely backwards. everyone is fat from the crap food that is marketed for the masses along with sedentary jobs and sedentary lifestyles. do you think the health industry goes after large corporations that employ 1000's of people and strap them in a chair in front of a computer screen for the rest of their lives?(sedentary lifestyle) NO! why? because they too are a corporation that employs 1000's of people and strap them in a chair in front of a computer screen, and $$ is a good thing right?. the same companies decrying health are selling you carcinogenic substances to gain a "sugar free" or "diet" label while you pay more, get fat, and die for it.
Brew good beer, share-it, and be good to each and everyone. Fate will handle the rest.
