Alcohol is a poison that never did anybody any good, ever, so stay away from it. Talk to your dentist if a mild sedative is warranted. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
