Too much drinking everyday?

I just turned 84 over the weekend and had quite a party. However one of my grandsons told me that he's never seen an "old" guy put away so much booze in his life. I drink everyday, have since I was in my 20's and living large then. I usually have a few cocktails around noon, High balls, and then lager beer throughout the day. AT night I make a nice stiff Whiskey and soda before I call it a night. I don't have any majoir health problems, knock on wood, but I do find people joking with me all the time about being an old boozer. I do smoke, have since the age of 8 but I'm using chantix now to stop, my doctor said he would stop pestering me about drinking too much as long as I quit smoking. What do you think?

    You need to stop smoking to improve your health and stop drinking as well. For your reference, about 12 drinks per week is the maximum amount of drinks for a man that is normal to have. You should drink much, much less if possible, and also stop smoking for your health.
