	In his latest epistle, Eric Bahrt boasts that he hasn&rsquo;t had the flu in the 30 years since he stopped being a drunk, a two-pack-a-day smoker and a glutton for fried chicken and hamburgers.</div>
<div>
	My question: Is he having any fun?</div>
<div>
	I drink six beers a day, smoke five cigars a day, and my favourite food is that fatty pork dish with the brown egg. I have the flu all the time. And you know what? It&rsquo;s worth it.</div>
<div>
	I bet that 30 years ago Eric was as happy as I am today.</div>
<div>
	Happy Horace Beasley</div>
