Make mine a double
I found this BBC-Online news story:
(you can probably get to it from here)
It tells us that Britons spend several times more on cigarettes and alcohol than on preserving health.
From what I see around me daily, I feel the numbers would be about the same in the US.
OK, just thought you might be interested.

Reminds me of my expedition into the wilds of Afghanistan. We lost our corkscrew and had to survive on food and water for several days.

It may be old hat, but it's like clichés: there's a reason they're clichés--it's because they're true!
