    You’re not just shooting the stomach … you’re taking a shot gun to your back, your knees, your shoulders, your kidneys, your heart, your liver, your lungs, your immune system, your blood, your brain, your teeth, your mouth, your nasal passages, your eyes, your skin … everything.

    You’re taking a flame thrower to the temple that is your body and then stand back and wonder why everything is on fire … then go back to spraying napalm over everything.

        Good idea … the whiskey will keep the plastics solvent and keep it from causing a stroke

      Uhh… True, if exaggerated, for alcohol. Not at all for coffee, spice, or citrus. Coffee has more health benefits than negatives especially if you switch to decaffeinated. Spice has plenty of documented benefits. Citrus… Seriously? Fruit is obviously good for health.

          It’s because citrus is acidic, it’s a very common trigger of acid reflux. Same goes for tomatoes, especially in a concentrated form like a sauce.

      Coffee in moderation (less than 400 mg caffiene/day) is just fine, and it may even be healthy

      Capsaicin is good for you, peppers are nutritious

      Citrus is good for you

      Alcohol isn’t good for you. You’re complaining about alcohol.

      Those above things can trigger acid reflux sometimes for some people. If you get it often enough that it’s a chronic problem, there’s probably something else at the root of the issue that these things are exacerbating. Having your head that far up your ass must be making you hypoxic. That surely can’t be good for your “temple”

      Uh…I mean maybe if you’re an alcoholic, but there’s nothing wrong with it in moderation. Not everyone who drinks is slamming a liter of vodka each night.
