Alcohol & Cigarettes: White Brits are dying faster than other ethnic groups

I smoked for about 10 years from 18 until 28. I was very lucky in that I never tried to quit. I just slowly went from 2 packs a day down to 1 pack a day down to a pack every three days dow to a pack a week until I had no desire at all. The start was the the worst flew I ever had. Strange how that awful flew seemed to reset something in me. Now the thought of smoking repulses me.

I never touched alcohol for years then in my mid 40's I would have an occasional drink . Now almost 60 years old and I normally drink about twice a much , 4 to 6 drinks usually. It makes my a jolly good fellow. For me the trick is drink lots of water before during and after and the next day I feel fine.

 

Once or twice a year I'll have 3 or 4 drinks in one sitting. Most cases a 6-pack will last me a couple months.

 

I tried smoking cigarettes and hated it. Never really enjoyed alcohol much either. A beer on a hot day is nice but I'd much rather drink water or green tea and honey.

 

B.S. report. WHO did study back in late 60's - early 70"s on this matter. They study what cause of high rate dying white people in GB and the USA. Some blame food, some blame bad habits like alcohol and tobacco. After research was widens to across the Europe they noticed in other countries such as Italy, France< Germany people eating much more fat food, drink more alcohol, smoke more tobacco but live longer. The only one difference is they don't speak English as much as Britts and Yankee.
