2 years is more than 2%
if that's not a lot, would you mind sending me 2% of your pay check? I will have to find something to compensate, but first I'd be curious what the relatively huge advantage of loosing 2 years to alcohol is in your mind, for sake of the argument.
- forgottenpass 9y agoI already have multiple hobbies that consume more than 2% of my income per year. If you can find something to sell me that I enjoy more than skiing, you're more than welcome to my skiing budget.
- posterboy 9y agoHow about liquor for 2% of your budget? If that's not to our taste, I'd still wonder why alcohol consumption should warrant loosing two years of life.
- kelnos 9y agoPerhaps because someone enjoys it? It's a bit holier-than-thou to suggest that skiing is a noble way to spend your time and money (and life), while drinking alcohol is not. And regardless, you've chosen to focus on one of the larger estimates. Six months at the 100-200g level is around 0.7% of life. You're certainly free to think I'm short-sighted by valuing a little drinking more than 0.7% of my life expectancy, but I'm also free to ignore you; it's my life, and I get to decide what makes me happy.
