I'm surprised that you liked it, especially since you were a kid. I thought it was pretty awful when I first tried it as a teenager. It felt like my throat was going to burn up.
Smoking is clearly unhealthy, though that doesn't necessarily mean that every smoker will eventually get ill. Alcohol is at least healthy in small doses ( or at least that is a common perception ).
Obviously because it's an addiction ? You need a lot of willpower to quit smoking and, as much as you can, try to keep away from other smokers as the smell ( or rather stench ) of cigarettes would likely make you want to smoke again.
I think I've read an article recently which implied otherwise. Drinking frequency is an important element though. We know that alcohol is healthy in small doses but drink too much and it's literal poison.
Unless they are drunk 24/7, they would be able to have kids. Alcohol has no effect on erection unless you're drunk, but it may or may not kill the sperm.
I agree that being busy as much as you can is good, but I would say that you also need a lot of willpower to quit smoking for good. I've seen many smokers quit for a while, then just start smoking again when they get the least bit stressed.
I don't really like Bourbon. Firstly, it smells horrible. Secondly, I can taste the corn it was made of ( and I'm no fan of corn, especially since it apparently goes into anything these days ).
haha
Actually, I've never read on why alcohol causes erectile dysfunction. Apparently it's because it affects the blood vessels in such a way that men are unable to maintain erection.
I have also read that excessive drinking can also cause a low sperm count.
Interesting that you mention sake. For some reason I find the idea of drinking wine made of ferment rice disgusting. I guess it's because I don't really like rice haha.
It most definitely does affect "manhood", alcohol in general not just vodka. The more you drink the worse it gets really. No long term damage of course, it is just temporary.
Well, I didn't drink anything on the new years eve, or even celebrate it because I've had a horrible headache. I did drink some Jack Daniels the next day though.
