But there are plenty of $4 martini lunches. Don't care one bit for martinis (and maybe they're not a big thing on the Left Coast), but... please elaborate?

We need a study correlating Lancet reading with life expectancy, insanity and criminality.

I don't notice alcohol being stocked in the health food section anyway. I don't really care if moderate drinking is good for me or not. It's not bad, so that's good enough.

Drinking in moderation may not be good for you after all, scientists said yesterday. I never did like scientists.

I'm conducting a study to see whether or not making passionate love to 40-year-old Irish-American guys is good for your health(*) and am looking for female volunteers to fill in a questionaire.

(*) - Secondary purpose is to find out if it's healthy for the 40YOIA Male, at least until his wife finds out.

I can make anybody pretty.
I can make you believe any lie. I can make you pick a fight with somebody twice your size.
Well, I?ve been known to cause a few break-ups,
An' I?ve been known to cause a few births.
Well, I can make you new friends, or get you fired from work.
And since the day I left Milwaukee,
Lynchburg an' Bordeaux, France,
Been making the bars lots of big money,
An' helpin' white people dance.
I got you in trouble in High School,
But College, now that was a ball.
You had some of the best times you?ll never remember with me:
Alcohol; Alcohol.
I got blamed at your wedding reception,
For your best man?s embarrassing speech.
And also for those naked pictures of you at the beach.
I?ve influenced Kings and world leaders,
I helped Hemingway write like he did.
And I?ll bet you a drink or two, that I can make you put
that lampshade on your head.
?Cause since the day I left Milwaukee,
Lynchburg and Bordeaux, France,
I been making a fool out of folks just like you,
An' helping white people dance.
I am medicine and I am poison,
I can help you up or make you fall.
You had some of the best times you?ll never remember with me:
Alcohol.
Yeah, since the day I left Milwaukee,
Lynchburg an' Bordeaux, France,
Been making the bars lots of big money,
(Helpin' white people dance.)
Yeah, I got you in trouble in High School,
But College, now that was a ball.
You had some of the best times you?ll never remember with me:
Alcohol; Alcohol.
(Alcohol.)
(Alcohol.)

On a Saturday morning with a dirty glass...one would first rake the yard of leaves and do other outside work. Meanwhile, chilling in the refrigerator, is a conglomeration of variously expensive libations awaiting the time of day in which they would be mixed together...

Dr Rod Jackson and colleagues from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.. But there's more old drunks then there are old doctors so I guess we better have another round.

I wonder if the "experts" considered if the benefit might be partly the result of allowing yourself to unwind after a hectic day. { As opposed to working the body and mind to death till bedtime }
A frosty brew is an old vice that I still enjoy.
