Men who drink just two pints of beer have a 20 percent of developing
prostate cancer, according to new research.

Up to 30,000 men per year are dying from this fatal disease through
drinking the occasional couple of pints.

This highlights the dangers of beer and shows there is no safe level
of drinking.

Your next pint could kill you.

Could I get a job on the Daily Mail, or have I chosen thre wrong drug

If I get cancer, I won't be walking the road to hell alone.

This is double twattery since more than half of prostate cancers are
never revealed, i.e. the person dies without knowing he ever had prostate
cancer, prostate cancer is also very slow in most types and declares when
you're 70 or 80; also there are many contra-analyses which demonstrate that 
the
flushing action of beer and the folates in it are help to prevent cancer; 
this
is the looney press taking one statistic out of context (all the other 
statistics)
with no reasoned balancing of the arguments for and against.

Same again ?

I forget the name, but some doctor has written about the phenomenon of 
medical claim and counter-claim. You could write a book about the merits and 
dangers of red wine alone.

The government's top medical adviser has drawn up plans for a minimum price 
for alcohol which would double the cost of some drinks in England."

But at least the heart attack won't get you, as the alcohol protects 
against it.

So you get to live long enough to die of prostate cancer.

I suppose you could live off organically grown carrots and lettuce
leaves and live for a very long time. 

I wonder what you would eventually die of then?

Boredom, perhaps.

AFAIK it is not a medically recognised condition.
Heart failure, stroke, cancer, pneumonia etc etc but not "old age"

Having a spliff after boozing should help.
