Cats are amazing and beautiful. My best friends in this lifetime were and are cats. You are blessed to have a cat as a friend.
Quoted for truth. Cats are amazing creatures. I have 3 of them. One of them is like my animal lover. Lol.

I like drinking and I can't see anything wrong with it, like Pegg said, the problem is abusing.
People who abuse any substance normally end up having health problems of some sort.
Given the amount of information available about that, one would think smart people would be more balanced and enjoy life's gifts without deliberately cutting their days short.
Every time I read articles like this I get to the conclusion that the number one cause of death in the world is stupidity.

My father died from lung cancer due to smoking.I know, right? You're going to die, anyway. If you get sick or whatever from smoking, it doesn't happen until you're old, anyway. I'm not a chain smoker as it is and I don't overdo the drinking. Personally, I think a lot of it is attitude towards life. Many of the people who have lived the longest have been smokers, drinkers and ate red meat. They seemed to enjoy their life. Stress will kill you faster than any of that stuff. You could drop dead of a heart attack or a brain aneurysm at any time. Life is random like that. Lol. So it's best not to worry.
It wasn't very pleasant, and he was only in his sixties when he got it. First they tried to stop it by removing part of a lung, which worked. So for the next decade, he had to use a breathing machine and couldn't walk up more than one flight of stairs. Meanwhile he had a fit and healthy neighbor over ten years older than him, nearly 80, that casually climbed up on my father's roof to fix his antenna that got knocked down by a storm, and my father felt rather ashamed of himself for that. But he was so addicted that he kept smoking a little bit even after he had part of his lung removed, so he got lung cancer a second time, and he spent the last two years in constant pain and indignity, wasting away from cancer and chemo.
Doesn't surprise me:
My brother died of alcohol related complications: Cirrhosis of the liver and an enlarged heart. My mother's sister, died of cirrhosis of the liver back in the 80s, at the age of 34. (My husband is a heavy beer drinker, but he seems to think "it won't happen to him")
That's all I have to say about it: It's personal with me.

I tried the drinking scene, legally, when I was finally of age. I never dabbled in that underage scene so commonplace in the US. Found out it was not for me. I will never drink alcohol again.
It's unfortunate that people abuse it, or become addicted, but it was their choice to get involved with it. You cannot claim you were not forewarned of the consequences of it in the modern era.

Addiction is the real culprit not the alcohol itself. It can be safe and beneficial in moderation.

I like beer. Wine too. There is no doubt that alcohol causes a lot of harm. I think it is good that the harm is reported. It's unlikely to change my behaviour.
I don't smoke, but if bacon cigars came out, I'd have to rethink my choices.I know, right? You're going to die, anyway.

Statistics are always tell'n us not to do fun things.
It's science's version of sin.

My mother died of emphysema and other smoking related maladies. True, we all die, but there are better ways of dying then being on a respirator for the last years of your life-- sorta gets in the way of your drinking.

Everything in the ground if used improperly used where damage -
For example, the knife used in cooking and in people's lives, but also can be a deadly weapon -

God does not forbid alcohol, but told us ---
I have given you the mind ---
Chose in your minds ---
That they are harmful to you, Let her alone ---
But the wines sometimes have benefits too -
