For decades, studies suggested that moderate alcohol intake could protect the heart, reduce diabetes risk, or even help you live longer. Newer research tells a different story.

    Yep, as the saying goes, living will kill you.

    My approach is moderation. Enjoy life, enjoy those guilty pleasures, but, do it in moderation.

          Yes but avoid heroin. Some things are in excess even at the minimum possible amount.

      Is that a saying? Does anyone other than yourself say it?

          Yes I’ve heard of that one but that’s not the “saying” we were talking about.
