...I'll happily donate 6 months of future life for present happiness...a no-brainer, really...

Absolutely a no-brainer. I really never get the guys that after hitting say 50 or so that all of sudden they cut back or stop on the things they enjoy so that they might live a few years longer. I can't see the quality of life from say 70 to 80 being noteworthy enough for me to stop what I enjoy doing , eating and drinking now. Of course its all about moderation, physical activity but still.

I know a handful of guys in the states that went to their doctor and got all that horseshit about borderline diabetic, borderline hypertensive, high Cholesterol..blah blah..... They were put on meds and changed their lifestyle to appease a doctor report but when I talk to them they are miserable fuks who complain about what they can't eat, what they can't drink, their junk doesn't work because of the drugs they take etc. All for what....3 or 4 years more???

Now do not get me wrong, becoming a staggering blithering drunkaholic is not a smart choice but man, eat what ya want, drink what ya want and play hard. When its time to go.....Its time go....
