Drink Yourself Healthy - The dipsomaniac?s guide to everlasting life.


Recommended Posts

Our conversation on another thread about gout got me thinking about the positive health effects of alcohol. Who wants to focus on the bad all the time? We have all heard about a glass of wine or a pint of the black stuff being good for you.


So I?ve been on the internet and found some highly scientific stuff about what drinks are good for you.


In order to get the full benefit of the products available in your local wine shop it will take some dedication but here is the list of what you will need to drink every day:



1 pint of Guinness ? It has antioxidants which reduce heart clots and heart attacks. Although the thing everyone believes about it containing loads of iron is bollocks.


1 pint of beer ? It contains mineral silicon for your bones.


1 glass of white wine ? Antioxidants again but these ones are good for your lungs.


1 glass of port ? It doesn?t have any major health benefits but it does contain antioxidants and you can?t get too many of those.


2 glasses of red wine ? This stuff is the tits when it comes to beneficial booze. That?s why you should have 2 glasses just for good measure. It contains B vitamins, potassium, iron and antioxidants of all the colours of the rainbow. It protects you against heart disease, Alzheimer's, diabetes, strokes and it helps you sleep.


1 glass of sherry ? It helps produce good cholesterol which is good because it does for the bad cholesterol.


1 glass of whisky ? To prevent stokes and cataracts and supports the Scottish economy which will in turn stop the Scots from invading England, marching on London, coming ?round yours and being very bad for your health indeed.


1 glass of brandy ? More antioxidants. In fact good quality brandy is apparently about as good for you as taking a vitamin supplement.


Finally 1 glass of Baileys ? It isn?t really good for you but the cream and sugar help slow down alcohol intake and after 9 other drinks that will probably be handy.






Disclaimer: If you are reading this and you think that it is actually sound medical advice and not the just the booze deprived ravings of a demented office worker, or in anyway properly researched, you are probably drunk and should go for a lie down.

    • Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉 
    • Chains moving in is a sure sign that LL is heading for a fall. They are parasites, waiting for the independents to be successful and then, in partnership with rapacious landlords, they move in and force out those very businesses who have created the market they then seek to exploit. They replace a lively diversity with a bland and predictable offering. Then, when a downturn arrives, they move out, leaving boarded up premises and charity shops. Independent businesses who have worked hard to make a success of their efforts will try to see out hard times as they’ve invested so much. Chains look only at the bottom line and think nothing of closing branches. Chains are liable also to expand too fast, be managed badly and then collapse. Think of Brick House being forced out by Gail’s, the closure of White Stuff (although that chain was replaced by another) and JoJo Maman Bebe. . Sadly, I fear that will be the future of LL. 
    • It’s the impact the festival has on the community, the people living next door to the park who have to endure the thumping music and worse. Then there’s the park and the state it’s left in and the wildlife, especially nesting birds. All the roads going down Denmark Hill towards the park were closed off and roads off half moon lane and going up towards West Norwood closed off with wardens at each end, who were paid by Lambeth Council to stand there for the 4 days.  The festival made the news channels and interviews suggested most of the people attending weren’t fron the local area but places like Ireland and Scotland.  I live a 20 minute walk from the park and could hear the thumping music all day and night. Also the wind certainly carried the smell of drugs to my garden! For 4 days I couldn’t believe how strong it was. 
    • Emirates Stadium is  >60,00 but they tend to be very quiet 🙂 Jokes aside though, it's a case in point. Highbury was <40,000 and was 300M up the road, so there are definitely Islington residents who used to live half a mile from a fairly big football stadium, and now live right by a massive one. One that holds rock/pop concerts too accomodating 70,000 fans whether they like ot or not.   40% of Islington households are in social housing so regardless of when they moved their current homes, they may have had little say in exactly where they are housed.
