Your 1st post ... and you're agreeing with me already ... !

Well ... you're right, of course - not just in concurring with the views of a Moderator - alcohol CAN put lives at risk in more ways than are often acknowledged. But if enjoyed sensibly - and in moderation - it's ok. Cheers! ...

... and to the friendly, online filipino/uk community.

In WHICH case ... given that you're the only person, thus far, who's taken it upon himself to respond to my "dire warning" about possible contamination of the "demon drink" ... you might like to post a "neu" thread for the purpose of making yourself known to fellow forumers.

I have not responded because I was unaware of background to the news you quoted about " fake alcohol ", but of course a few months ago I posted in " Health Issues " a thread on alcohol ( " Tagay tayo ! ... " ) which has attracted over 3,000 views + 31 replies.
Since then the Royal College of Psychiatrists has recommended an upper safe limit for " older men " ( over 65 ) of 1.5 units / day and for " older women " of 1 unit / day. This in my opinion is unrealistic ! The reasons given by the College are that a third of those with drink problems develop them in later life, often as a result of changes such as retirement, bereavement, feelings of boredom, loneliness or depression .
There is also current concern among doctors about NON- alcoholic fatty liver disease which can lead to cirrhosis in absence of excessive alcohol consumption. It's related to obesity and poorly managed type 2 diabetes.

I'm glad you quoted the part you did in "inverted commas", Alan. Still ... no point in their being euphemistic - even when they're including "young [at heart] pensioners" like you or I !!

il drink to that

and a welcome to you neu

I remember that particular post of yours very well, Alan. True to form, it was spot-on in its relevance ... and to my mind, warranted a much greater response than it fetched at the time. To a somewhat limited extent, this thread of mine was aimed at highlighting the unspoken [by me] - albeit obvious - dangers inherent in the consumption of alcohol that had been "tampered with".

Confession time: I only happened to notice the headline in the process of logging-on to the forum yesterday forenoon ... and thought, 'hmm ... '

[Arthur Little]

... and so, I posted my thread thinking, 'ach there's no need for me to elaborate ... the title says it all!' Even then, I was more than a little surprised to find no~one had bothered to reply to it - despite 70-odd views - until a Newbie did tonight.

, as always, for your explanation.
