    I’ve always said that when I get old I’m going to take all the drugs. What is there to lose? My great aunt died at 101 after they took away her ever present bottle of scotch. She couldn’t walk and could barely hear, she was alone most of the time at the end and miserable. There was no reason to take away the one thing that made life easier for her.
