On Drinking

I read in the paper today where the average alcoholic lives to be 51 (which leaves me 8 years), while the av. non-drinker lives to be 70. I think the best years are from 30 to 40; you are definitely out of the childhood thing, know more what you don’t want, and usually have the health and strength to go with it. Of course, there’s something wrong with all of us & if you pour alcohol over it you get rid of it faster.
