I've been told by my docs that I've got to give up drinking

[eastlondonseagull]

It's two years since I gave up fags and I've not had a cigarette since.

Went for a diabetic eye check-up this morning, and they've now told me to quit the drinking or lose my sight.

Is there anything I can get addicted to that's healthy?

Help!

Sorry to hear that ELS.

I am addicted to Satsumas. I eat around 10-12 a day, sometimes more. Very good for you and highly addictive.



*Warning - This is an expensive habit.

Coffee is a healthier alternative.

Apparently I've got blood vessels haemorraging (only mildly atm, thankfully) in my retina and drink / fags make it worse. If I cut out the crap then the haemorrages stop and eye-sight won't deteriorate as fast.

Bit of a bugger, though, cos I love a good drink

Isn't what the liars have been telling us for years about wanking?

Did we believe them then? No!

Now if you'll excuse me, one of my contact lenses is playing up.

PS. rough news fella

As I write this from my hosital bed, I promise you that they are good for you.


Actually, can you have too much vitamin c? Not hijacking the thread ELS....

Start doing cocaine whilst out drinking, it thins your blood.

















Probably.

As a diabetic myself your choices are slightly limited. Nuts?

I need to give up smoking. That's the shitter.

Have you thought about joining the new health for life scheme? Can you do it, if you are based in London?

Yes. It gives you the shits when you exceed a certain amount - which is lower the healthier you are. It also has an LD50 but that requires something like 10% of your body mass to be vitamin C....

Probably.

It does the opposite actually. When you drink and do coke at the same time it forms a different substance which ends up as cholesterol and blocks your arteries. This is why you should stop and go to a doctor if you get shooting pains in your left arm (where the blood is pumped out of the heart first) as it means the blood supply is getting cut off. But as ELS can't drink, cocaine is perfect for his needs

Well I drink half a litre of orange juice ( freshly squeezed, not the stuff from concentrate ) a day, & I haven't had a cold all winter.

Nor has my skin turned orange !

Vitamin C is good for the immune system.

And you don't get scurvy !

Thanks for the knowledge.
