I used to drink one drink every 3 to 6 months. Now, I'm a lush. I drink about one drink every 7 to 10 days. I've already quit my job. Next I need to start going to those meetings.
Some of the neighbor ladies claim the best way to clean their tonsils is with alcohol. They have very clean tonsils.
I do like the tonsil excuse though...I need it to keep my tonsils squeaky clean! It's better than kerosene!
Congrats! Alcoholism has sent some of my dearest friends to the grave decades early, and others into literal madness. I was born with the gift of super low tolerance to alcohol. I get buzzed off 1 drink or a couple beers. 2 stiff drinks or a sixpack will give me a hangover, so I never developed an urge (or even the ability) to drink much. Excessive alcohol use led to approximately 88,000 deaths and 2.5 million years of potential life lost (YPLL) each year in the United States from 2006 – 2010, strigger lockshortening the lives of those who died by an average of 30 years. But hey, trigger locks and gun confiscation...
I was gonna have my tonsils removed in my late teens. Glad I didn't, now. It seems they do have a function.
Still have tonsils, appendix, and wisdom teeth. Only two wisdom teeth ever descended so I guess I'm half wise.
