Queen advised to drop her daily cocktail; family friend says 95-year-old does not appreciate it |

My advice to Her Majesty would be to fire any physician younger than she is who suggests such a horrible thing. If she takes their advice, she's be dead within five years, and unhappy(er) the whole time. According to a report in Vanity Fair, the British monarch has been told by her doctors to give up her evening drink which is usually a martini. A family friend told the outlet that skipping the martini is "not really a big deal" for the nonagenarian as she is not a "big drinker," "but it seems a trifle unfair that at this stage in her life she's having to give up one of very few pleasures." ...back at the cheese factory, all the pieces finally fell together in Fluffy's mind... her former chef Darren McGrady had to clarify that the monarch never has four drinks a day as claimed, and the few times she has a drink with dinner, it's a glass of her favourite German sweet wine. However, some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves... the monarch will reportedly only have water and soft drinks from now on. A second source confirmed, "The alcohol has gone, her doctors want to make sure she is as fit and healthy as possible." |

#10 #7 the Royal family has had a lot of bounders, rakes, and cads. Victoria, Liz's dad, and herself have been the exception in the blood line. Fortunately for the English, the ladies seem to have a long life and reign. |

#8 If I were age, I would be knocking them back. Things around her have been crap lately, and it's just going to get worse when she's gone. (Charlie) Cheers. |

#7 Blame the times. Liz's dad rose to the occasion and served his country as king; Liz herself learned a useful skill and served honorably in the war. Her kids grew up in the Britain of the mod generation and the Swinging Sixties. The country went to seed and so did their royals. |

#4 95? She has already beaten the odds. Of course this could be a plea by those knowing who follows her to the throne. |

#3 Those that try to force or manipulate our lives to extend our lives. Are many times just stealing what little joy we have left in it, for their personal emotional wants, needs or agendas. |
