Bad Timing on Alcohol Study

  • People who do not drink alcohol may finally have a reason to start -- a study published on Friday shows non-drinkers who begin taking the occasional tipple live longer and are less likely to develop heart disease.

    People who started drinking in middle age were 38 percent less likely to have a heart attack or other serious heart event than abstainers -- even if they were overweight, had diabetes, high blood pressure or other heart risks, Dr. Dana King of the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston and colleagues found.
Moderation must be the key? Damn these medical studies!

Everyone wants a "kinder/gentler"
Police dept; especially the stupid whore liberals; why not let us have few libations w/our lunches?
Make it a partner thing; the non driving paper guy can have a few.
And maybe only for fast districts.
If the whole watch gets "loaded",
places like 019 can pull cars and send them to 11,15 etc. to take over. Then that 019 ranger asshole
can live up to his name!!!!

Whats next weed gonna make my IQ shoot threw the roof.....

I recall when I was younger, the News, stated that tomatoes cause cancer, then another study came out after that saying that they don't.

Don't always believe what you read.

Ya, and "Global Warming" is on it's way too, so let me hurry up and do my part by buying more energy friendly light-bulbs, have another drink while I have a tomato stuck my arse so I can live longer.

Give me a break.

wow, what's the deal with the 019 bashing? I've never heard anyone there refer to themselves as a "ranger" or boast that they are "the real police". smells of sour grapes. I'm aware there haven't been any bid openings lately but, typically a few spots open up in the summer. stop crying in your coffee and keep your eyes on the c.o. book for openings.

Speaking of drinking, south side irish parade today. Gold stars and other bosses wanted police to enforce the drinking laws. yea good luck.IMPOSSIBLE task. they wanted people arrested to send a "MESSAGE"...how come this does not occur during the other parades and fests. i can think of many details i.e. (bud biliken etc)where p.os are told NOT to lock up people anyone unless they are way out of line : not for minor mccs like dpw.. Unless this is the way its gonna be from now on in Chicago. any thoughts...

Anytime we got detailed to 022 and arrested anyone, their family member, priest, alderwoman, cop neighbor, reverand uncle, water dept supervisor grandpa, Cook County Sheriff Godfather, States Attorney brother-in-law, etc beat us to the station and would be waiting with the WC to lecture us and release the prisoners. I don't know how cops in 022 manage to lock up anyone. They must have to sneak them across the border into Area 2 under cover of darkness or hide them in the trunk.

I see a few have been complaining about anovs and arrests at s.s. irish parade. Although justified it seems to me that the dept is just setting the stage to do the same at other "cultural celebrations". It will allow the dept to arrests fools without the revs crying racism.
