It's not just wine. There's ample research that says that light drinkers live longer than abstainers. Recommended drinking practices are roughly no more than 2 drinks for men and 1 for women five nights a week. For reference, one drink is roughly a bottle of beer, glass of wine, or shot of hard liquor. This isn't due to the antioxidant properties of wine and beer necessarily-- alcohol is a vasorelaxant, which can reduces the risk of coronary events.
Of course, excessive drinking or binge drinking is harmful to the body. Probably someone my age has little if anything to gain from even moderate drinking, but also little harm in moderation. But modest drinking is something to consider for older persons.

I tend to smoke the good stuff out of pipes for more reasons than just the taste & smell, though. Joints use up quite a bit of pot (much less than a bowl pack), it takes more time to roll a joint than to pack a bowl, & the resin from the pot tends to stay in the pipe as opposed to a joint where it can get on your hands & lips even if you've gone through the trouble of making a filter.
But if I have lower end stuff, I've got no problem putting it into a J. And if I have "bad" quality stuff, it goes in a flavored blunt so I can avoid the awful taste.

Not to open a hornet's nest or bring up a dead horse topic, but on average, heavy drinkers also outlive teetotalers. Light drinking is best, however.

That's because most people who abstain are tight-assed control freaks (or tight-assed moralists) who will die of heart attacks from taking life too seriously.

This. People who drink are less stressed. I haven't been stressed in 75 years.
There's another theory that moderate social drinking promotes social health, but yes, generally alcohol reduces stress, and while studies have found that even heavy drinkers outlive teetotalers on average, it's probably also less desirable to die of a failing liver than a coronary event.

Not too long ago at a music festival I was handed a pipe with what I was told had some spice in it.I am for all intents and purposes a regular smoker so I figured, "Why the hell not?"
I felt a very weak high that felt like the cheapest Mexican dirt-shwag for about 5 minutes, then it went away and I felt almost completely sober. I wouldn't really care to try it again, not when good and somewhat legally grown (not coming from across the border) weed is so readily and easily available where I live.

I've had joints a few times and I must say that while they're rather fun, I still prefer pipes/bongs. My motto is that bongs are king. Any kind of glass is nice though, because you don't have to worry about burning something you shouldn't, burning the paper too fast, etc. Plus pipes look cool, and are a lot harder to drop than joints. I've yet to smoke a blunt, but it seems like it would be fun, bigger, thicker than joints IIRC.
I've also heard that joints suck for getting the most out of your stuff, as Omega said, but I've also heard that hookahs are the absolute worst. It takes the most pot out of everything else to get the same usage out of it, anyone have some insight?
Hookahs also tend to cause you to inhale 200 to 600 times more smoke than a cigarette.

I guess that means we can look forward to varus dropping dead any time now.
