Not only are the majority of TBP readers in the high risk category, but further studies have shown that regular readers of TBP double their chances of alcohol poisoning because they are driven to drink after reading the dire doom and gloom articles on a daily basis.
According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, six people die from alcohol poisoning in the United States every day. The majority of them are middle aged men between 35 and 64. Indeed the risk level is substantially higher for men than women – 76 percent of all victims are male.
Approximately 2,200 Americans die from alcohol poisoning every year and the problem costs the country over $200 billion annually. Broken down on a regional basis, Alaska is the state with the most alcohol poisoning deaths per million people while Alabama has the least.

And?
Count me in!!
I believe Ms Freud and I are on the verge of alcoholism.
We bought a bottle of this (below) on Christmas Eve. It’s almost empty!!

It’s only made in France. It’s made from red and black raspberries, Madagascar vanilla, Moroccan citrus peel, and honey. We consider it a health drink, and sometimes substitute it for our morning orange juice.
I love Dimples as our fans call it.

I’ve never been one to advocate drugs or alcohol but in my younger years it worked for me…( hat tip to Hunter S. Thompson). Heck my wife and I are teetotaleers…..for a couple of reasons.Besides being from the South means you’re born crazy we don’t need alcohol to go off on a rant.
Stuck, we have a bottle of that in the cabinet too. So far, I have not had any for breakfast though.
Sure glad I am an old guy who drinks only Diet Coke. John

The picture above is what Sensetti hits on BEFORE he’s drunk.
This is what he bags AFTER he’s had a drink.

I can’t exactly say I never drink. I think I average something LESS than ½ can of beer a year. The last drink I had was a beer in March of 2013.
I know I’ve said it before; I’m a bit of an oddball.
Hey Stucky,
Didja ever bother to order any “7 Täler Hex”?
Yeah, I know it’s a little pricey, but it’s worth it.

Bad news…..I’m sure most has seen this, but it applies to everyone here. Apparently to Grandmothers who can food and gripe about the system as well.

I checked Billy, you’ve checked too many boxes – they’re comin’ for ya.
I haven’t been drunk since New Years 1992. I pretty much stayed drunk for the 10 years prior to that. I still drink plenty (I have a kegorator with eight different beers on tap) but now it’s about variety and enjoying what I drink rather than getting shitfaced. Funny thing is, getting shitfaced was never a goal but it wound up being the destination more than I liked.
Tommy, I checked out that list. Exactly half those things on the list don’t apply to me but the other half does. Do I win a prize?
This was my “theme song” when I was a Radio dj in the late 70’s. Although I worked with a guy who called himself Jack Daniels, that wasn’t my name….
@ Tommy
Checked out the list…
You can just replace that list with the word “Everyone”… because everyone I know crabs about at least a couple things on that list…
Oh well…
Stucky,
We use Chambord to prepare our carrots. Wonderful. Just cook your carrots and saute in a little butter and Chambord. Also a dash of Chambord in a glass of champagne is really good.
I’m with bluestem, although for variety’s sake, I also drink diet Pepsi.
Wow, the populist Stucky, he who rages against the machine, drinks a $35 a bottle of French liqueur with an occassional sip of same at breakfast no less.
I can’t see the dichotomy. Can you?
$35 for a bottle of booze? Who pays that? All you get for that price is rotgut.
I rarely drink anymore, I have a youngish child and one of us needs to be sober the majority of the time.
Though lord knows I miss it and do occasionally turn to drink to get through an especially crappy day. Amazing how a quick shot of vodka can make things feel better. And it has even been a long time for that.
Funny how people worry about alcohol and health, when alcohol has been a part of human existence since almost the beginning of time, yet we think diet American soda is “good” for us.
Truth is you probably have a better chance at dying from the physical, long term so never associated, health destruction that our newish food chemicals have brought us.
American soda pop, maybe even ALL soda, is death in a bottle. Long, slow, never correlated, death.
There is nothing wrong with daily alcohol consumption unless you experience the oft-related “side” effects of instant assholeism, or always drunkism.
On the other hand a daily diet of soda will, with a near 100% certainty, bring pain and disease and ultimately an earlier death.
Advertising, marketing, and a captured by money/power government has convinced us otherwise.
And remember, tobacco kills you so we have mandated adding over 7000 chemicals to make sure it does a damned fine job of it.
We are screwed.
I need a drink.
