Thanks God for islam.

Idgaf imma still drink my bottle of wine a day

Oh, shut up!

I don’t smoke so I’m good with it. How risky is smoking 50 fags a week (my wine load!)

How come the French are not all dead?

Not as much fun though.

I'll wait for the meta-analysis.

5-10 cigarettes a week isn't much of a cancer risk. 1-1.4% chance over a lifetime? Seriously? Probably a higher cancer risk by eating fast food once a month.

This is more confusing than Brexit...? Should I stop drinking and start smoking again, is butter in or out this week, will bacon kill me again.?

A bottle a week is less than a glass a day, which was pretty much recommended a few weeks ago 🙄🙄

Blah blah blah

Fake news. I'd be dead by now.

I remember when tinned peaches were supposed to cause cancer. What’s going to be next? Bread? Coloured toilet roll?

*10 cigarettes a week. No mention of cider, so I’m fine 👍

Thank you but, No! , I don't believe it

Up to 10 cigarettes? None or five or ten?

PumpknSpiceSoul Sure Jan.

What about a bottle a day?

'The data says...' *mocking tone* cr8tivegem

Best to drink 2 bottles and finish the pack of 20 ! Who writes this nonsense?

Every day living is a cancer risk.

The problem with this comparison is that saying the risk associated with drinking 3 bottles of wine a week is the same as smoking 8 cigarettes per week (for men) doesn’t sound that bad.

Stop drinking, stop smoking, you won’t necessarily live longer it just seems longer 😂

Ah well, back to heroin then.

Maybe if you do both it's like a double negative,.

I drink a bottle Vodka every 2 days i'm screwed lol

Uh oh What about half a bottle?

There's no problem with our traditional foods, but what it has been done to them:

Drink vodka instead, problem solved.

What about beer?

& next week....a glass a day will be good for you. 💤💤💤 🍷
