According to Yahoo Health, America has a drinking problem. Not alcohol. Soft drinks. It seems that average Americans drink over 40 gallons of soft drinks per year. All these drinks contribute to increased fats, cholesterol and brain cell damage.
And, don’t think that switching to diet drinks will save you. Research has shown that people that drink diet soda have a higher risk of developing diabetes.
Included in the report is this little tidbit. Some popular drinks, including Mountain Dew, use brominated vegetable oil - a toxic flame retardant - to keep the artificial flavoring from separating from the rest of the liquid. Sometime listed as BVO on the label, this ingredient can cause skin lesions, memory loss and nerve disorders. If you haven’t been overcome by memory loss from drinking this stuff, next time you have a fire, just pour some Mountain Dew on it.
Okay, so what do we drink now? Everything we drink is bad for you. Naturally the ‘experts’ say to drink only water. Remember now, these are the same types that are recycling sewer water to make it ‘safe’ to drink. I’m giving up water.
Being the scientific mind that I am, I have come to the most logical conclusion.
Since everything is dangerous, just drink alcohol. It has water and is made from lots of grains. Aren’t we supposed to get a lot of fiber each day? If everything is bad for you, at least with alcohol you will have a good time dying. There is another benefit not often pointed out. You won’t get worms. Just look in the bottom of a bottle of tequila. Alcohol kills worms!
There is one little side effect. Alcohol makes you walk funny.
