Andy & Tonsil Cancer
"He's currently 53.  He doesn't drink very often.  He smoked for several years, but quit about 15 years ago.  5% of those who get Tonsil Cancer will not be attributed to Drinking & Smoking.  And they feel Andy is in this category.  What was interesting to me was to find out that heavy Drinkers can get this & other Oral Cancers, I thought it was just smokers.  And the combination of Drinking & Smoking is deadly!"

 
Bad Bob Takes On Monster and Winning
