"You shouldn't drink, it's bad for you."

No kidding. I realize this. It kind of irritates me when people get on my back about this because:

A) I have cut down considerably and my average rate of drinking continues to dwindle.

B) Most people who tell me this drink more frequently than me.

C) Most people who tell me this don't tell me this because they care about my health, it's something they parrot because it helps them feel better about themselves.
