There are no known life extension technologies (so far).
The most promising tech currently would be senolytics, but preliminary data show that the result would be longer "healthspan", but not an extended lifespan.
Eventually, we might be able to upload ourself into some substrate, but it might not be characterized as a life extension, but some kind of "presence", perhaps.
I am not sure that this would even be desirable from an uploadee perspective.
I can see that it could be good for relatives for 'closure', perhaps.

I doubt much experimentation could be done on land under most governments of the world. That's why I see seasteading as a necessary step between here and there.

There are several promising technologies, no magic bullet but it may be a combination of several things. Likely tailored to the individual.

I don't follow it close enough to know the tech (yet) but I believe it will be something available to only the super rich early on (like most new tech), so part of my hodl strategy involves saving for that tech instead of blowing it on lambos now.

Recently I have been given a peek into just how much Bitcoin will benefit the world. The early adopters of Bitcoin are the same ones that believe in this tech and the reason behind it. They are now very rich and have different dreams than the rich that came before us. Very interesting times ahead.

then its a good case i'm a LOOOOOONG term hodler as well and not a blowing BTC's on dumb shit etc kinda guy....

the ALCOHOL post did come from deep, especially when someone beloved is an addict, and is for a BIG part being lost in the struggle with it.
in my family my grandmother was a very BIG alcoholic as well ( a very emotional drinker), she the best person ever, but f*** when she finishes already 1 big glass of red wine, the way she changes and trash talk whatever comes in mind is unseen..... @ this time again she stopped for over 6 months or so, but
but stopping for ever just does not work, she always relapses and thats the story of real alcoholics they can't stop cause even when they do, there is always something that emotional triggers them to just take the bottle again.
i think for myself i follow a relative healthy lifestyle doing sports eating OK and not drinking to much just occasionally on resto etc....
even my girl is turning meat into as well now thats a bit more difficult for me but yeah i do not take drugs, i'm not an alcoholic and i do sports..... .
(when you have seen people on addictions from close, that changes a lot)
so i know what its been for a guy like ELWAR having a wife that addicted to alcohol (thats even way more close as i have with my grandmother ofcourse).
good you made the choice for yourself and be going for the healthy life-style and not be on the drinking (or VERY occasionally in your case).
