Title: Red wine - super drug
Post by: Libertas 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.

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.

Oh, sure, be a buzzkill!   ::slapfight::

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