ever heard of alcohol poisoning? drowning in your own vomit? DUI deaths.. anyway, may not die in the same manner but death is death and isn't this wonderful to talk about on someone's 20th birthday...

Liver disease, hepatorenal failure... in the long run anyway...

That's if you're drinking to excess. All the sh*t in cigarettes starts killing you no matter how much you smoke.

And it was his 18th birthday not 20th

Eh, if you just have one or two cigarettes a month, I don't think it would really kill you any quicker. The only problem is that I don't know of nor have heard of anyone who just smokes one or two a month... or even one or two packs per month.

Happy belated birthday!

my bad 18th...

You don't have to drink in excess to drive and kill yourself or someone else. In truth if you are on certain medications and drink it is asking for trouble.
And you don't even have to drive a modern car... My great-great grandmother was kill by a Model T Ford due to a drunk driver. and the top speed on that was 35 MPH.

I said nothing about drink driving, that's not drink killing you that's stupidity. Smoking directly causes so many things that can result in death.

I'm with Tubby on this. If you're sensible then some alcohol has actually been proven to be good for you. Drinking and driving is stupid, as is binge drinking. Different matters completely.

It's my opinion that if you regularly drink alcohol in excess of two servings in one sitting, your life expectancy will be less than someone who abstains from alcohol use.

I'll define regularly for the fun of it: >2 times/week
