   Of course I'm going to enjoy myself with stuff that kills brain cells,   
   rots your liver and drives you crazy. Why not? People do it all the   
   time, it's part of living.   
      
   I'll never stop having a few pints of ale or glasses of wine now and   
   again, or even a few glasses of Glenfiddich when the mood takes me   
   despite the massive damage that alcohol does to your brain cells and   
   liver. Tobacco kills nerve cells, damages your brain and causes lung   
   cancer amongst other things, but people still think it's worth having   
   a smoke. Good luck to them if that's what rings their bell. Not for   
   me, though, my only smoke nowadays is some nice Ganja. Lovely.   
      
   I suppose I could subsist on brown rice and lettuce leaves in a cave   
   in the Himalayas and live to be 190, but what's the point?   
      
   Life is a terminal condition anyway, so you might as well have some   
   fun while you're here, even if it will kill you in the end. And both   
   Glenfiddich and a bit of organic home grown are nice little life   
   enhancers that put a gilded edge on the process of living.   
      
   So cheers, I'll choose my poison and have fun my way, you go through   
   your life scared shitless of the pleasures of grape and barley and   
   whetever else people find  their fun in. You might even live to be   
   190, you miserable old git, but to me it seems that you'd be just   
   drawing out the suffering.
