Mountains of my life: Forever Soldier

This is a Challenge!

While having a drink with some of my friends, an old neighbor passed by and I overheard him say like this: "Life is short, don't make it shorter." I think he was right in that sense. He was concerned that we would be sick with our drinking of licquor. He was just saying: Do not drink because life is short. But then, there's another school of thought, if you call it this way. Maybe, this is just another alibi: "Drink because life is short!" My neighbor was saying the negative, I'm saying the positive -"drink and drink for tomorrow you will die."

Which is the right one? Well, you say - if you want to lengthen your life, take the first one. But if you to shorten life, go ahead enjoy drinking. Which one do you like?

I challenge you.
