I heard a funny old saw the other day about how Spanish flu spared whiskey drinkers. But it actually could make some sense. If you batter the liver, you tamp down immunity. A healthy person who drinks, like many of us here, could be achieving perfect stasis.

And honestly, I see no option. I ride my bike, lift weights, then it’s straight to the gin, wine, champagne, and beer (I’ve rediscovered Belgians). WTF else am I going to do?

I just went to the drug store to buy some bourbon (Mi laws rule, Pa laws drool). I got the last two bottles of Maker's. There were no other bottles of any brand I'd consider drinking. But the shelves were oddly full of various "Old-something or other." We might not tap down all the way to Stone Age, but I fear I'll be diving into some off brand near term.
