"As for me, I enjoy drinking coffee and I enjoy drinking alcohol. They're small pleasures of life that contribute to my overall happiness."

Yeah - it's like the old saying "it's easy to live to 100 years old, just give up all the things that make you want to live until 100'.

I am typically very health conscious, even an aspiring sort of pseudo-vegetarian, with the exception of cured meat. Keep hearing about how bad the stuff is for you but you can pry my prosciutto from my cold dead hands.

Oh-so cool.

This makes me mull about the role that moderation plays in a person's overall happiness and success in life.
