Health dilemma

Post by Arcadian »

For years I have been following the health advice to drink red wine everyday, apparently it will prolong my life. But now I read that to prevent heartburn I should abstain from alcohol 2 or 3 days a week. Here`s the dilemma, should I continue with alcohol and live longer but suffer extra years of heartburn.
I welcome the advice from forum experts. :?

I am not sure that it is true in this case but there are many decisions that are

QUALITY OF LIFE v. QUANTITY OF LIFE

A long miserable life or a shorter but more joyous one.

I remember Rumple of the Bayley summarised it well
--he was told he should stop drinking Claret--he said--If you could promise me ten more years similar to when I was twenty I would be interested, but ten more years in the Sunnyside rest Home--No thank you.
