On the one hand, drinking alcohol may make you live longer.
Drinking could help you live longer—that's the good news for happy-hour enthusiasts from a study presented last week at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. According to the study, people who live to 90 or older often drink moderately.
On the other, you might not remember who you are any more.
Heavy drinkers are putting themselves at risk of dementia, according to the largest study of its kind ever conducted.

I don't think so.
The "anti" study used a population that had been hospitalized due to alcohol use. That's probably more alcohol than the average soylentil consumes. And we know that alcohol can be toxic, and massive quantities over time can lead to things like red noses and dementia. The authors say ominous things about smaller quantities of alcohol, but those aren't the subjects that they studied.
Cheers!

With each punch, the man became happier and more free. True Happiness was within his grasp. Just a few more punches. Just a few more! More...! He couldn't be truly happy until the last ounce of life was sapped away from the woman. More! Then, she broke. What the man experienced next was nothing short of True Happiness, and he finally understand the value of men's rights. No, he could see something else, something far more grand. The Tower! It's The Tower! The man could see it by twisting his head sideways. Nothing was impossible for this man any longer.
