The Bible states that a little wine is good for the stomach. Yet some Christian sects are against any use of alcoholic beverages. The reasoning appears to be that many congregants will decide that if a little is good, a lot must be better!

Hey, what about beer?

Beer is higher in calories and carbs, has a bottle deposit in many states, and contains phytoestrogens. For men too much beer will grow bellies and tits.

Boxed wine doesn’t shatter when dropped after over doing it.

You can run some flexible tubing into the glass jug in the fridge. If you're passed out on the floor, gravity keeps the wine flowing.

"The Chilean low end has an off smell. Carlo Rossi Cabernet Sauvignon is cleaner and uses California grapes. It costs $10 for a 4 liter bottle at Walmart, which is less than Two Buck Chuck. "

I don't think I've ever seen that one, but one of my favorites is Carlo Rossi Burgandy 4L, $9.99 @ HEB. Another is Franzi Cabernet Sauvignon 5L white box currently $13.99 HEB. Both of those beat local wallyworlds.

You say that 3 to 5 drinks a week makes you 33% less likely to have a heart attack. Well I am 99% sure I won’t get a heart attack, because I do that 3 times a week.

If it’s not I’m screwed.

I’ve reviewed thousands and thousands of medical records and I can tell you three things that seem to keep people going forever: 1. Moderate wine intake; 2. No tobacco use; 3. Chopping wood. For some reason, guys that chop wood for exercise are incredibly resilient, even with late stage cancer.

Everyone who drinks it dies.

Eventually.

“All of them in the past are dead!”

All people who drank water during those periods of the past are also dead. Coincidence?

I think Fonterra is a Chilian. Saw it at MarketBasket at a great price for 750Liters. It was a Chard so bad that I tossed it after a couple of glasses. Didn’t even want to cook with it.

Red wine is good for you. Drink up.

It tastes wretched so it’s probably good for you.

I don’t like jazz either.
