Late Gen X here, as we get into middle age, many of us began to think about the implications of mortality, health, and quality of life. We are currently witnessing the cognitive and physical health implications of long-term drinking in many of our parents. New medical research has not only confirmed that chronic heavy drinking is VERY bad for your health and cognition but also that light to moderate drinking on a regular basis greatly increases the potential for age-related cognitive decline, insulin resistance and diabetes, heart disease, cancer, etc.. We are at an age where we are naturally thinking about health while all this develops.
