Quit drinking alcohol while you are ahead. Alcohol is a poison that never did anybody any good, ever, so stay away from it. 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!

Alcohol and caffeine cause dehydration and leads to constipation and increases your risk for numerous other bowel issues. Avoid alcohol and caffeine and drink 80-100 ounces of fluids per day, mote if you are exercising strenuously. If you are behind in fluids adding more fiber will increase constipation so fluids is critical. May take 1-2 weeks to see benefit so don’t quit prematurely.
