Hold my beer!

If you had a time machine and could send just one message to your past self, what would it say?

Apart from the many reckless and arguably stupid things I’ve done in my lifetime, one stands out. It has probably contributed the most to some of the medical conditions I now have to manage in my 60s.

It was so conspicuous that many of my friends thought it was a good idea to give me a lot of hip flasks as gifts over the years. Bless their soles! I know they didn’t mean any harm. I still have a collection of these standing unused on my bookshelf as reminders of my irresponsible indulgence.

You have probably guessed already, but if I could go back to my earlier years, there is one clear message I would send to myself:

Go easy on the booze!
