    Don't smoke
    Don't drink
    I do exercise constantly and drink lots of water.

    However, I do have a very poor diet and drink still too many Mello Yellos (about 3 or 4 a day). Yet when I had a physical done back in February, my cholesterol level was at 100.:eek: :eek: :cool:

    The most irritating part about this thread is that I now have Adam Ant's "Goody Two Shoes" stuck in my head.

    Hopefully, now you do too.:mad:

    Anyone have any ideas as far as what constitutes drinking 'too much'? Serious replies only, please. :)

    When one of the first three things on your mind when you wake up in the morning is alcohol. When I first moved to Houston, I'd wake up and drink a beer, then go on with the rest of my day.

    I eat too much fatty foods and probably don't exercise enough.

    Not exercising is a bad health risk.

    I love that song. It's the story of my life (except that I don't drink... but that's exactly why).

    My health risks:

    -Not a particularly healthy diet. Involves lots of processed food, chicken tenders from the HEB with hot wing sauce, and french fries.

    -And on those french fries, lots of salt. I love salt. My blood pressure is actually low, so I'm entitled. :)

    -Diet soda by the gallon. Hopefully we're all correct that the artificial sweeteners won't hurt us.

    -I hardly ever get around to medical and dental checkups. I never get those female checkups either like they tell you to. Amazingly enough, I'm a lot healthier than my friends who get the checkups.

    -Sleep deprivation.

    -Caffeine (see above). Includes coffee and those energy drinks. No telling what all the stuff in those does.

    It hit me last night that I've turned into a boring person. When I was in Texas, Friday night usually meant Star Pizza and various illegal substances. Friday night now? High fibre crackers, sliced turkey and going swimming. Par-tay!

    I probably drink too much coffee now. That's about it.

    Consume too much cholesterol. But my cholesterol levels are low so I'm not worried yet.
    Don't drink enough red wine.
    Don't exercise.

    Skin cancer. I'm out in the sun from 3-6 every day, and I've even got a tan through my white golf shirts. Oh yeah, and I'm also in the sun from 7-11 in the morning on weekends.

    Oh, and whatever diet coke might do to you.

    Sometimes I hear a voice that tells me to get the axe.
