Okay, now I'm a'wonderin' whether I should even bother listening to doctors...

die, now everyone who chugs the same is going to live longer. Makes sense,
everyone I knew who was over 50 could drink me under the table.

I think where you got confused is the everyone part. Nobody said
anything about everyone.
I'll drink to that anyway!
This weekend.
Speaking of which, we started watching that smash hit comedy movie
called THE HANGOVER and as much as I hate to admit it, we are finding
it funny as hell. Haven't seen the end yet, but the basic premise is
marvelously yet realistically nightmarish, and probably a little too
close to home for many fellows. Three guys wake up in Las Vegas with
one of their party and all of their memories of the previous night
GONE. They have to piece together what happened. The damned thing IS
funny. It's no THE INVENTION OF LYING, but it is funny. Anyone who has
ever awakened from a blackout will also find it somewhat terrifying.
It's one of those cartoonish movies in which one can clearly see the
thin demarcation between humor and horror.
I suppose it might not be so funny to a person who has never been an
idiot out on a bender with other idiots.

Well, I meant that the doctors have this illusion that anything they
consider unhealthy is going to kill you outright, like drinking, smoking, or
basically anything fun. Remember when they used to swear that cigarettes
were good for you, and transfats were safer than saturated fats too?

Sounds like a more intellectual version of "Dude, Where's My Car?". Or is it
funnier?

I don't know. I never saw Dude Where's My Car and don't know much
about it besides that it was not a big critical success and was mocked
widely for being sucky.
The Hangover is not very intellectual at all. It is however funny if
you've ever awakened in an unfamiliar place covered in blood going
"Now WHAT IN THE LIVING FUCK did I DO last night?!?!" Waking up that
way is NOT funny. Watching actors pretend to is funny in this case.
Like I said, I have been an idiot on a bender with other idiots, so I
could identify with it in an awful and nightmarish way.
I would not recommend it to people who have never fucked up majorly.

Now I've GOT to see it. Should be required viewing for anyone who got so
drunk they pissed and/or shit their bed.

More like: for anyone who got so drunk they woke up in an incredibly
expensive, but completely trashed, hotel room, in another city,
married to a stranger, missing a body part, with a live kangaroo in
the bathroom and a midget sleeping in the dresser drawer. And that's
just upon waking up 20 minutes into the movie. I changed some of the
details to avoid direct spoilers.
Damn, I'd be watching the rest of it now if I wasn't typing this. What
is WRONG with me.

Well now that you've mentioned it...

Toilet Peppermint Wonderland
I liked that part where they were `effin stoned to go get the kangaroo.
