I have no desire to live to 90, so I figure it's better to scrape off a few years of my life with some satisfying, unhealthy living. I want people to look at my corpse and think, "Jesus, that guy had some fun." Of course, I've toned down the self-destruction quite a bit in my older age. I can't party like I used to anymore.
Besides, we could all go at any time. One of the healthiest people I've met that ran a few miles every morning dropped dead of an aneurysm at age 40 on one of his jogs. He spent all that time trying to stay healthy when he could have just been wrecking his liver in entertaining ways.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
