Researchers are saying that there is a link between moderate alcohol consumption and enlargement of the left atrium of the heart, which can lead to a condition known as Atrial Fibrillation. This is a disaster.

Huh. So my atrial fibrillation might have been caused by the booze? Then why didn’t it go away 13 years ago when I quit drinking, dammit?!
Thanks a lot, just what I wanted to read during HAPPY HOUR!
Darn it, I was about to pour a glass of wine for while I cook dinner. Oh well, I’ll change starting tomorrow.
I call B.S. on this. Coffee, good – coffee, no good -coffee good. Same with eggs, butter, salt and a myriad of other ingestables.
Worry. When sciency people can get their shit straight (one day, meat is bad – BS, the next, processed carbs will kill you – took them decades to get that right), I’ll give their words more weight.
Until then, I’ll take it under advisement.
LOL. Worry = sorry.
Never had a drinking problem. I could at any time easily drink to excess, no problem at all.
Moderate. Thank God I drink so excess.
A cardiologist told me that 25% of
people over 60 have Afib. This tells me it is age related. Something is
gonna kill you eventually and being
too scared to have fun is BS.
This is very troubling news, I need a drink.
Well, at least at my funeral, they’ll say I had a big heart….
I shall continue to research this thoroughly.
(At my own expense, mind you, not biased by government grant funds).
@Bad Brad….I just changed 3 of my goats names to *Excess*….now, I just got them to wear flip flops and run on a tile floor….LOL…
Willy, You like that flip flop joke huh. I renamed my sheep to Moe Tom because it only drinks that damn Dewars. LOL
I just called my vodka tonic deplorable and it made me spank it….
Eat healthy.
Exercise.
Die anyway.
Nos habebit humus.
🙂
I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than have to have a frontal lobotomy.
Yeah Brad, that joke cracked me up….and it cracked up my biker buddy enough that I ain’t sure he’s quit laughing, but that’s awright because he’s kinda old and I can tell it to him tomorrow….LOL…
Reminds me of when Bill Clinton was President giving a speech in the Senate.
He said the Republicans were the party of Talkers, but the Democrats were the party of Doers… at which point Ted Kennedy woke up and said “Dewars? I’ll have a double!”
If the thunder don’t get you then lightning will!
Sounds like he’s hiding his own Easter Eggs
I wasn’t going to drink today. But damnit! One should never eat on an empty stomach.
Wut?
Attaboy Tommy. No body likes a quitter
Dewars? I thought you said Drewrys.
Are you accusing me of slurring my words? LOL
I like the old timer who said, I’d rather spill a little, than forget where I put the damn bottle.
@ RosaLindJ
“I’ll take it under advisement” Me too. I will mull it over, over a neat good bourbon before I eat my well marbled ribeye. 🙂
Good news or bad news, I’ll drink to it either way.
God programs your body with a preset number of heartbeats at birth. One can either rush right through them with regular vigorous exercise or one can live a normal life, some physical work combined with some leisure. And bourbon.
I’m on the Winston Churchill plan.
I’ll stick to dickin’ bimbos then, thank you very much…
🙂
Great! It is already just a matter of time before they start plowing under all the vineyards here in Oregon and replant them with marijuana. This news will just hasten the process.
Since the invention of alcohol, neither has the species died out, nor have we returned to the trees.
Coincidence?
I think not.
Tony R,
Maybe that’s the plan in cali. Destroy vegetable farming in the valley and replace it with maryjane.
I call BS. My daughter’s MIL has Atrial Fibrillation. She doesn’t drink – if so very little maybe a glass of wine. She also has adult muscular dystrophy which they believe was caused by the chemical Roundup. She grew up on acres of vineyards and she was sent out spraying for weeds barefooted using Roundup. So, there’s other possibilities for Atrial Fibrillation.
Shee-it! What a nifty crowd you are!
I’ll have another (tasteful, no carb) vodka and water. Plus lime.
To you, Furbie’s Kids! ….Lady in Red
Lazlo….I’m not sure that’s true….one more spirited vodka martini and I just might be climbing to the 4th branch in my massive oak tree….Lady in Red….there’s room fer ya on the 5th branch….the sun will be up around 6 and the moon will set in about an hour….hurry…
Breaking News. Explosion on 23rd Street between 6th and 7th Avenues. in NYC. It happened about 8.15 pm. Twenty five people reported injured. The device was in a trash dumpster.
Moderate drinking only causes me heart problems when blue lights are flashing in my rearview
<– Pours another vodka.
Silly Willy! You should *never* climb an oak tree while drinking vodka martinis! I think you need a keeper….. ….smile… Me? I only dance. ….smile… ….Lady in Red
You wanna live on this rock any longer than you have to, that’s your prerogative.
Lady in Red….there’s a dance floor on the 5th branch….
Okay, then. The foxtrot is my specialite….. (Do a mean weave.) How’s about you? ….smile… ….Lady in Red
PS: Fifth branch, eh? You sure, now?
Foxtrot? I’m here for the horizontal bop.
yeah sure…I https://youtu.be/L0bx1Yq-X8E?list=PLj61l9hHVCA-2wAsumGUOBwBJq1YgDHFg this is what they play…
Sweet, Pet! …smile… …Lady in Red
Fer gods sake Brad, gimme a break…..I’m probably flirtin’ with an iron worker from Ohio….
Lady in Red….do you look good when you ain’t wearing red?….,
Willy, Either way you need some protection. Lol
I’m harmless and hardly an Ohio iron worker. ….smile…
Good night, gentlemen. ….Lady in Red
PS: Red’s dramatic, one of my best colors, but….?
Jeez, how much?
