Choux, I agree with you. People in my village, on the whole, seem to live healthily to a ripe old age. We have some in their nineties still living active lives and still driving - and regardless of brand of preferred daily tipple, each and every one of them swear by it. If that's their experience, who am I to tell they're wrong?
Absolutely, naomi. I enjoy a tipple myself but I can go days or weeks without any. I always enjoy a drink when I have one but with an alcoholic in my family I make sure I don't drink on a regular basis. Guess I just won't make the 100 ;)
MrsO and I had an arrangement.......we were, when the time came, to go into the same care home and our children had been instructed to find one with a bar....... :-)
I remember hearing about a 97 old man in a care home who had a boiled egg for breakfast. When he asked for another one he was told, 'No,it's bad for your cholesterol'.
This reminds me of a friend of a friend who lost her arm through cancer. She still made her own roll-ups right til the end - somehow, I don't know how.
When my mum was in the hospice I was glad to see a smoking room for the patients. No point worrying about it at that stage
