  June 06, 2008 at 17:18 HERMIEsurf thinks you'd have to consider which is a worse way to die...by lung cancer or by liver failure?
• 
  June 06, 2008 at 17:19 HighDef says a six pack of beer is relatively harmless except for the calories. Smoking a pack a day will kill a person for sure.

  June 06, 2008 at 17:19 scottph feels one might offset the other!!

  June 06, 2008 at 17:20 snorkelbuddy says it depends on the 6-pack; Bud will kill you sooner than Sam Adams

• 
  June 06, 2008 at 17:21 khook says I think a pack - but it also depends on how quickly you pound the beer!

  June 06, 2008 at 17:21 LexFortis says 3: drinking past date milk

  June 06, 2008 at 17:21 yomike says smokes are worse -- affects you and the people around you... with a tolerance for alcohol, the six may not be so bad

  June 06, 2008 at 17:22 bloggeries Thing is liver rejuvenates I don't think lungs do. They clean themselves out but very slow and cardio isn't exactly associated with smokers
• 
  June 06, 2008 at 17:24 daynah says well neither is good for you. Smoking would affect the lungs first. And drinking would affect your liver (I think)
• 
  June 06, 2008 at 17:26 marywallace thinks alcohol kills brain cells, leaving pock holes in brain. smoking kills lung cells. choose your poison carefully, both impact happy life.

  June 06, 2008 at 17:27 gutterkitty says I smoke but don't drink. And I think a pack a day is worse. *cough cough*
• 
  June 06, 2008 at 17:28 bloggeries This was just a question btw I don't actually smoke a pack a day or drink a pack a day FWIW

  June 06, 2008 at 17:29 monkeysplat asks is two glasses of wine a night bad on the liver?
• 
  June 06, 2008 at 17:30 tehya says Both probably can't be too good for ya. But you only live once!
• 
  June 06, 2008 at 17:30 Live Crunch says both.
• 
  June 06, 2008 at 17:31 JBligh says Both, while incredibly cool and fun, are regrettably probably bad for you. The 6-pack every night will make you a fat pig, however...
• 
  June 06, 2008 at 17:35 doshdosh says definitely a pack of ciggies is worse no doubt about that.
• 
  June 06, 2008 at 17:36 northrock smokes
• 
  June 06, 2008 at 17:39 remarkablogger says I don't know about worse but smoking will hit you faster.
• 
  June 06, 2008 at 17:41 bruceclarke thinks both will probably kill you but smoking would be worse

• 
  June 06, 2008 at 17:54 ThatDude thinks people are skirting the answer by saying both. We all know neither is "healthy".
• 
  June 06, 2008 at 18:17 jamar78 wants a 6 pack right now
• 
  June 06, 2008 at 18:39 tehya says Hahah. I agree with LexFortis

• 
  June 07, 2008 at 03:47 msomustek thinks smoking. Then again, maybe that's wishful thinking on my part! Cheers!
• 
  June 07, 2008 at 03:50 Rudolphrawg says his mother smoked four packs a day and drank a bottle of gin a day for year, then died suddenly of unknow causes.
• 
  June 07, 2008 at 03:55 Pat feels the smokes must be worse.
• 
  June 07, 2008 at 04:00 Rudolphrawg says oops. "year" = "years"
• 
  June 07, 2008 at 04:00 Jdubbya says Smokes for sure
• 
  June 08, 2008 at 10:50 danwest It's kind of like asking "which is worse, a bullet in the head or a knife in the heart?"
• 
  June 08, 2008 at 10:51 herebejames danwest, words out of my mouth there
• 
  June 08, 2008 at 10:52 Veribatim says A pack!? Yeah that's worse
