It's not odd; it's the burden of being aware and not ignorant. Of course I take pleasure in several things that won't give me cancer. I also realize that true pleasure comes only after labor and pain. In contrast, alcohol is the kind of pleasure that is followed by pain.

I have a relative who drank regularly. He now has a bad case of gout because of his drinking.

Two others got diabetes from all the unhealthy food they ate while drinking, and died from it.

A coworker who drank regularly got brain cancer and died from it.

An ex-friend long ago basically killed someone drinking and driving.

Most humans don't learn from the dead but they should.
