Why you should choose a pint over a coffee: Caffeine can shorten life expectancy - but alcohol lengthens it

Next time you congratulate yourself for choosing a coffee over a beer, you might want to think again.

Researchers have discovered that caffeine can shorten life expectancy, while alcohol can increase it.

Scientists at Tel Aviv University found that caffeine shortens, and alcohol lengthens, telomeres – the end parts of chromosomal DNA.

Instead of a sign that says "Do Not Disturb" I need one that says "Already Disturbed Proceed With Caution."

I don't drink Coffee or beer.  In fact the only caffeine I get is from energy drinks.  I don't drink soda, except during the winter when I make Butterbeer.  Which doesn't have any caffeine either (the cream soda I use doesn't).  Might get a little from the punch I make from 7-up and lime sherbert. And probably some from Hot Chocolate once in a while.  

 

I may drink alcohol once or twice a year.  I have very particular tastes, so I don't have anything against it.  My wife drinks fairly occasionally (usually Vodka, but sometimes beer if it's football season).

I drink the occasional girly iced coffees and I also drink the occasional frozen adult girly drinks....but I don't drink either of them enough to affect my life expectancy. Guess I'm gonna have to figure it out some other way!!

Guess I should cut down from half a pot a day. Gee whiz, I already cut down from a pot a day. What's next? Pot, every day?

Not for any reason other than I don't like hot coffee....and I really don't go out anywhere to drink and making a pitcher of Rita's for yourself is just sad! My hubby doesn't drink tequila... :confused:




Actually he and I learned a very long time ago that we can't drink together. So either it's his night, or my night. We both drink, no matter what comes out his mouth...it's starting a fight!! :Woot:

That is why you don't drink from the bottom of a pool, lake, river, ocean ...etc. ... The water at the bottom will kill you.

You have to admit, it is odd.  Usually married couples end the night taking their clothes off after a night of drinking.  You start by taking his head off.
