Red wine - super drug
« on: March 11, 2013, 07:23:59 AM »
So, what do I need the lab-coat types for?  Can't I just guzzle more vino?   ;D

Wonder what 150 would look like?   ::speechless::

Apparently, the drug in red wine, resveratrol, has lots of good stuff.

Let's all become winos.

Anybody have a brown paper bag?

If I was a younger, single man on the prowl, I would point out that getting drunk negates the need for the paper bag.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

The problem with beer googles is that you could just as easily turn off the lights and remember your night.

I buy that it can make you healthier in moderation, but hardly extending your life to 150.  Sounds to me like they are priming it for a health craze.

I'm waiting for the wine yogurt.  Eating that, I'll live longer than a Mongolian in a yurt.

Yeah, OK, I concede your angle is probably more likely.   ;)
