WhiskeySwap that whiskey for an orange juice.
According to a study released by a British medical journal (to be published in The Lancet), alcohol is ranked more harmful than crack and heroin when assessed for its potential harm to the individual and the individual's harm to others while imbibing.

The article indicates that ecstasy is only 1/8 as harmful as alcohol...ECSTASY! As scary of a drug as it is, it's still not as harmful as alcohol, isn't that the unbelievable?!?!

Alcohol is harmful to your health and the health of others. Swap out your alcoholic beverage for a healthy drink like a glass of skim milk or a cup of green tea. Skip alcohol and its empty calories altogether to protect your body from its adverse affects, one of which is weight gain. Think about it: have you ever been motivated to hit the gym when you're hungover? No. Alcohol not only affects your lifestyle when you're imbibing but also the day after.
