The Health Benefits of Whiskey

[Ben]

While some of this sounds a little fishy, I'm willing to accept them in order to rationalize downing the booze.

I'll drink to that

My whiskey (and coffee) consumption tends to have immediate, significant health benefits for the folks on the other end of the conference call.

Since I'm subject to drug tests for any of 6 different reasons, and since I'm diabetic and beer will ensure you lose a leg  , I asked my doc a few years ago for something to take the edge off after a stressful day at work. She prescribed clonazepam. When they got unreasonably difficult about renewing scripts for them, I asked my doc for her opinion about Whiskey since, being distilled, it contains no carbs.  I am now under doctor's orders (permission, really) to have a drink a day after work. No guidance was given as to how much constitutes a "drink".  I really, really like my endocrinologist.
