Good News! Drinkers happy (Survey) The Saturday Happy Hour Thread

Drinkers happy, smokers just coping: survey

A few alcoholic drinks a day could make you one of the happiest people in Australia, but if you smoke, you're just coping with a hard life.

This is the message in the latest Australian Unity Wellbeing Index released today, which challenges findings that alcohol can have a negative impact on a person's life.

The index, based on a survey of 2000 Australians in April, found that those who drink up to three drinks a day are far happier than those who never drink.

-snip-

The author of the Wellbeing Index, Deakin University Professor Bob Cummins, said one of the most intriguing findings was that people who did not drink at all had the lowest wellbeing of all drinking categories.

High five.  :cheersmate:

Let's just make this the "happy hour" thread shall we?

I'm drinking 7 & 7's in case the Buckeye's lose. That way I'll be in a good mood no matter what!  :uhsure:

Sex and Lies in Sin City

A little embarrassed to admit, it's on Lifetime.  LOL  It's about the murder of Ted Binion.  Mena Suvari plays Sandy Murphy.

I never watch Lifetime so it's a little embarrassing to admit it.  But it's actually pretty good.

OSU vs PSU. Penn State just got a touchdown and will be beating my Buckeye's 10 to 6 when I go back. (sigh)

Truth be told I was just being a little jerkish from the whiskey and even I have seen some good movies on "the woman's network" LOL. You have nothing to be "embarrased" about. I'd give you a H5 but I gave ya one to recently for some other post.

(I'm treating this as a happ hour thread)  :lmao:

That was you being jerky????  LOL

Well, I'm using this as a reason to procrastinate from my paper.  It won't take me long to do, it only has to be 2 pages plus a Power Point presentation.  Sigh.  Stupid project.

Well. Now that my Buckeye's have lost the game the animal within is pretty ****ing upset.

I hope your movie ended better.  :p



All I care to do now is tear some pu*** up and go on a rampage and set fire to the first person who doubts my insane intentions.
