Me in my 30s: "my doctor says I need to eat nothing but kale and lukewarm water or I'll die at 50" deeper-sadness

My great grandmother lived and worked in lumber camps for her first thirty years and then textile mills for thirty more. She smoked like a chimney and started every morning off with a screwdriver. She lived into her mid 90s. Sometimes I wonder if I should be more like her.

My grandpa would take a swig of port wine every morning. I don't want to defend functioning alcoholism, mind you. i've worked enough jobs where I was the only sober guy present.

My grandpa was a drunk from 10-70. Now he cant walk and is in and out of the hospital and my grandma takes care of him. Shes the same age and took care herself so you wouldn’t really think shes almost 80. But also my step dads brother just died out of nowhere at 59 to brain cancer. It’s surreal because I just saw him last year and he looked great. His dad also lived to 80 and mom to 96. So yolo this shit imo
