Old Man's Liver,
That Old Man's Liver,
It's quite cirrhotic,
Nearly necrotic,
but he keeps drinkin'
And rottin' his liver away.

Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker...

“The whole world is three drinks behind," Humphrey Bogart proclaimed in 1950. If everyone in the world would take three drinks, we would have no trouble. If Stalin, Truman and everybody else in the world had three drinks right now, we’d all loosen up and we wouldn’t need the United Nations.”

Dietician: How much do you drink?

Tio Narratore: Not nearly enough.

Aren't liquid diets all the rage for their "cleansing" properties?

Besides alcohol has a distinguished history as a medicinal. Otherwise, all those Hollywood westerns would be inaccurate when they give the gunslinger with a bullet wound a slug of whiskey.

In Nelson's Navy it was a large tot of Rum.

You off rubbing jinns again, Og?

(I have a part completed Genie story with a different set of 3 wishes...)

Extract which might not pass editors:

"So, hypothetically, if I were to wish to become attractive to young girls, what would your advice be?"

"Don't."

"Why not?"

"There are several errors in that hypothesis. You might become attractive but could find those you attract are not attractive to you. If a plain girl or a girl who had traits that you detest were to be attracted to you, what would you do? Unwanted attention can be painful. Then there is the plural "girls". Would you want say twenty girls chasing you? The final error is the adjective "young". What is a girl? One definition is a female younger than a woman. With the onset of puberty happening so early, a girl could mean a pre-pubescent girl. Add the word "young" to that and you might become attractive only to females under the age of what? Seven years old? Is that what you want?"

"No. I thought..."

The genie sighed loudly. "You didn't think. That is the problem with humans and this three-wish contract. In the old days I would have given you your wish and you would have ended up like the Pied Piper walking around your town followed by an embarrassing procession of seven year old girls. Have you any ambition to start teaching at an Infants' School?"

"No."
