[QUOTE="Arn, post: 288294, member: 2487"] I have found that the onset is based on a few key elements: 1. When you were born 2. Where you were born 3. Which of the following three "W" words describe your drinking habits: A. Water, Wine, Whisky Here's my thinking: One's life expectancy is considered, should we reach it...a full life. Average expected life of the following: Ancient Roman = 35 years Middle Ages Briton = 30 years Colonial Virginia = 25 years 1920s = 48 years Today = 78 years The Romans drank wine, though at times it was cut with water. The Briton drank water, ale, mead. The Colonial also drank water, ale and distilled something called "White Lightening"...nearly pure grain alcohol. In the Roaring 20's toward early 30's...Prohibition reigned...no mass produced, nor consumed wine or whisky. Though there was plenty of water. Today's population has every kind of spirits available and we have become nations of people that love their drinking. Jeanne Calment, who died in 1997 at the age of 122, remains [URL='http://www.nytimes.com/1997/08/05/world/jeanne-calment-world-s-elder-dies-at-122.html'][COLOR=#000000]the oldest person on record[/COLOR][/URL]. She said her secret to long life was stopping smoking at 100, red wine and chocolate. I don't think anyone can refute that Madame Calment "AGE"ed well. So, stop drinking water, hit the bar and eat chocolate. That way you can AGE to perfection. [/QUOTE]
