For decades, studies suggested that moderate alcohol intake could protect the heart, reduce diabetes risk, or even help you live longer. Newer research tells a different story.

    Yep, as the saying goes, living will kill you.

    My approach is moderation. Enjoy life, enjoy those guilty pleasures, but, do it in moderation.

        Right, so I should do some moderate excess then?

          Yes but avoid heroin. Some things are in excess even at the minimum possible amount.

      Is that a saying? Does anyone other than yourself say it?

        Yes. It’s a saying. All things in moderation including moderation.

          Yes I’ve heard of that one but that’s not the “saying” we were talking about.

        I’ve heard it before, so I’d say yes.
