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 was always observing the una minus without even being aware of it.

    At the airport, before boarding, I normally have a pint. Not for sorrow or loneliness, heavens other people maybe, not me. Since the bartender can't drink while he's on duty I finish the whole thing myself.

    But in other places e.g. foreign lands like Miami, I normally order dos cervezas, por favor for me and my date. But the truth is, no date shows up, so I have to drink both *shrug*
