My dad lived a healthy lifestyle. Worked out everyday except the weekends; even competed in amateur competitions. He followed all the scientist’s advice and ate what was healthy and stayed away from what wasn’t. Still got Stage 4 cancer and died before his 69th birthday.

Point is: we’re still going to die, no matter how healthy we are. If you want to drink, do it responsibly (don’t drive, or text). Enjoy as much of this shitty life as you can, while you can.

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

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

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

I've heard it before, so I'd say yes.
