Never known anyone to enjoy Alzheimer's, crapping themselves and outliving family. No offense intended.

The logical fallacy of the false dichotomy.

It isn't either or. Doing stuff to ensure you are fit and in shape to do the activities you love doesn't mean you will die at 97 of Alzheimer's.

Seems like you're in denial. That volume of drinking isn't what most sane people would call healthy or sustainable. I think you're gunna get a wakeup call and it ain't gunna be pretty. If you live through it, you'll be changing your ways then, if you're smart. .

no i know it, runs in my family. I quit for twenty yrs while my kids were growing up, i'll do it again for health reasons now. Have already done it once so know i can again. hell I quit a 3 pack a day cigarette habit cold turkey when i stopped drinking back then at the same time.

That was all that was in the bottle, I only drank it so it wouldn't be around to tempt me.

Always be honest if you have a drinking problem and you go into the hospital. My father in law drank around a 5th a day and mixed a little soda in it. Went into the hospital for congestive heart failure and didn’t tell them anything about drinking daily and he died. Doctor told the family after it was over with that if they would of gave him a drug for withdrawals he would still be alive. He drank Canadian Mist!!! They should of put some of that in is IV!!

Roger, good luck, you know what you need to do and you have a plan.

You can tell a lot of people here care about you and would hate to see anything bad happen.

It doesn't mean you won't, either. The point being, do what makes you happy.

Alcoholism
Definition

Alcoholism or alcohol dependence is defined by the American Medical Association (AMA) as "a primary, chronic disease with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations."
Description

Alcoholism is characterized by:
a prolonged period of frequent, heavy alcohol use.

the inability to control drinking once it has begun.

physical dependence manifested by withdrawal symptoms when the individual stops using alcohol.

tolerance, or the need to use more and more alcohol to achieve the same effects.

a variety of social and/or legal problems arising from alcohol use.

The effects of alcoholism are far reaching. Alcohol affects every body system, causing a wide range of health problems. Problems include poor nutrition, memory disorders, difficulty with balance and walking, liver disease (including cirrhosis and hepatitis), high blood pressure, muscle weakness (including the heart), heart rhythm disturbances, anemia, clotting disorders, decreased immunity to infections, gastrointestinal inflammation and irritation, acute and chronic problems with the pancreas, low blood sugar, high blood fat content, interference with reproductive fertility, increased risk of cancer of the liver, esophagus, and breast, weakened bones, sleep disturbances, anxiety, and depression. About 20% of adults admitted to the hospital (for any reason) are alcohol dependent. Men are more than twice as likely to be alcohol dependent than women, and smokers who are alcohol dependent are much more likely to develop serious or fatal health problems associated with alcoholism.
On a personal level, alcoholism, in many cases, leads to difficulties in marital and other relationships, domestic violence, child abuse or neglect, difficulty finding or keeping a job, impaired school or work performance, homelessness, and legal problems such as driving while intoxicated (DUI).
According to information derived from the United States National Longitudinal Alcohol Epidemiologic Study released in 2006, about 8% of American adults are dependent on alcohol (estimates range from 5-10%). About 34% of adult Americans do not use alcohol at all. Another 44% are occasional or non-dependent users. Alcohol is the third leading cause of preventable death in the United States (smoking and obesity rank first and second) and is responsible for about 85,000 deaths annually, about half from injury and half from disease. Alcoholism is involved in about 30% of homicides and 22% of suicides. It is the cause of about 20% of fatal motor vehicle accidents and is a contributing factor in between one-third and one-half of all vehicular accidents. Alcoholism costs the United States about $185 billion annually in costs related to violence, traffic accidents, lost work productivity, and direct medical expenses. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism estimates that at least 6.6 million children under age 18 live in households with at least one alcoholic parent and that before age 18 about 25% of children are exposed to family alcohol dependency or alcohol abuse.
