Will I make it? Some people doubt it. What to do?
I am an almost 24 year old female who has minor health issues like high cholesterol, high triglycerides and high blood sugars, I also drink 3 bottles of wine or other kind of alcohol or cocktail each and every weekend and some people say I wont make it because of how much I drink and also because of my health issues especially the high triglycerides they told me I am way too young to have that and that this is already a red flag that I am not very healthy and that I need to change some things in my life if I want to prolong it. How correct are they? Some people tell me “sorry doesn’t sound like you will live very long because of your health you have high triglycerides high cholesterol and other health issues and you do nothing about them and you also drink excessively and refuse to cut down or stop it altogether so probably you wont make it much longer” how correct are they I mean even though I have these health issues I am still very young and I think that these are all reversable especially the cholesterol and triglycerides (if I for example change my diet and eat more healthy and exercise) then I think the cholesterol and triglycerides will go down but I’m not sure how correct I am about this. But people tell me I also have to change my drinking habits because triglycerides can be triggered by high intakes of alcohol and they also tell me not only a high intake of alcohol triggers triglycerides but I could also be damaging my liver because that takes a beating too from taking in lots of alcohol all at once. They said that just changing my diet and exercising is probably not enough and that I should also consider cutting way down on the alcohol use or maybe even not drink at all anymore since I already have health issues so drinking might make them worse. They said three bottles every weekend is way too much and way over the recommended safe drinking that is currently medically advised for women and that I am also possibly doing damage to my liver drinking this much every weekend they said that as a woman I am only supposed to have one standard drink in a day and a bottle of wine has five standard drinks in it so 5 times three is fifteen standard drinks in a weekend so not only am I exceeding the daily safe recommendation but I am also exceeding the weekly recommedation of how much I should have in a week because that is 15 standard drinks and my limit should be no more then seven per week and no more then one per day so I am exceeding that by double. But people can say all they want I am very stubborn and refuse to obey this dumb rule cause one drink isn’t good enough for me I can’t be happy with only one standard glass of wine per day or one standard cocktail cause its too little and I must have all of it or none when I uncork that wine bottle or whatever bottle I choose to drink I do not like to leave nothing in there instead I prefer to drink it from start to end. That’s just me I don’t like to save it up. But if I just change my eating habits and start to exercise more and drink lots of water and possibly take vitamins or supplements to improve my health and change everything but my drinking habits will my health improve or not?
to Vince yeah I eat my vegetables so don’t worry about that.

It’s not a dumb rule Sarah and you know it, just because you don’t agree with the safety limits does not mean that they are not correct. It’s a pity you ask so many dumb questions when you know the answers very well, I’ve seen some of them to other questions from people like yourself, it’s a pity you don’t follow your own advice.
