Obviously not a heart or cholesterol problem in this bunch. When you're knocking back Lipitor you can't hit the booze. For years I homebrewed beer -- nothing like untaxed pop with the foam on top. But all that's over. Now it's near beer and nothing stronger. Even drinking black coffee is living on the edge for me. But if I did say to hell with doctor's order I'd enjoy Taylor's New York Port, a peaty Scotch (neat) or Tequila and tonic. Has anyone tried Arturto Fuente's coffee?

A nice Port, Jachie D, or a good dark beer or ale.

Any Port in a storm.

jeeze, mholloway, the cigars will probably kill ya. have a glass of red wine, namely port, everyone says it's good for the heart.

eleltea: and yesterday I read that now they doubt aspirin has the beneficial effect it's supposed to have. I had a diabetic friend who loved PEZ. He collected the funny dispensers and tossed or gave the candy away. It was a passion. Coffee and cigars...it's a passion.
