Good info, thanks for passing this on.

Being born is fatal.
Who da f*ck are you!?
One thing I learned during 5 years of dealing with cancers in my family: Every person reacts differently to just about everything. A level of consumption by me could very well kill you…and vice versa.
Moderation is always the best course. And in some cases, even moderation isn’t worth it.
be considered binge drinking. “
Binge drinking is the worst drinking you can do. Very destructive
“. I don’t know how he isn’t dead.”
I wonder the same thing about Keith Richards.

Everything is bad for you, it seems.
I didn’t like taking Acetaminophen, but it’s the only pain remedy I can take on Eliquis. Fortunately, I only take maybe one a month.
100% of divorces begin in marriage.
Just like 100% of the dead were once alive.
Yes! And Ozzie Osborne.
I was shocked because I didn’t drink every day, I never drank alone and I drank because I enjoyed it as a social activity, not because I felt alcohol-dependent.
English women are notoriously drunken slags.
5th a day is social?
She later said it was binge drinking.
“But by definition, my alcohol consumption from my late teens to late 20s would be considered binge drinking. It felt normal because people around me were doing the same - and now it was catching up with me.”
This is the BBC. I mean, they knew that this was the case.
Unless they have an agenda with this article.
After not having consumed alcohol for two+ months, I had two glasses of pinot noir with dinner tonight. A positive development was that my wife suggested the wine. I selected a bottle of pinot noir from Fall Creek Vineyard in Driftwood, TX, Hill Country TX.
I'll probably have a glass or two on Thanksgiving. Will definitely keep it in moderation. My preferred wine for decades was German Riesling, but it's now too sweet for my tastes. When I was stationed in Germany, that was what I mostly drank. I lived in Traben-Trarbach, in the middle of the Mosel. I still buy on occasion from a winemaker whose product I've been buying for 40+ years. Have shifted slightly from Riesling to Spatburgunder (German Pinot Noir). I don't dare touch anything sweeter than Beerenauslese.
I’m not a drinker but I buy a bottle of wine a couple times a year. Bogle Merlot or Cabernet. Half a glass makes me a bit dizzy.
I've narrowed my choices down to:
Two wine clubs: Lost Oak Winery in Burleson, south of Fort Worth; and Fall Creek Vineyard in Driftwood, 30 minutes east of Austin.
Ankida Ridge, Amherst VA: beautiful views of the Shenandoah River. It's where an old Army buddy lives. We reconnected last summer for the first time in 40+ years. He was the cool and calm officer like Dick Winters of Easy Company. I was the "hair on fire" LT. Our CO was like CPT Sobel, couldn't read a map to save his life.
I was his Best Man when they got married. Never heard speak a word of English until last summer, lol.
I still buy from Weingut Eduard Kroth, Briedel, Germany. You can buy from their website, weinguteduardkroth.com. They've been around since 1506. I had plans to buy a case for Christmas, but I'm overstocked at the moment. My grandson played in a tournament in Cooperstown last summer, and we came back with 4 cases of wine.
Some states were criticized for keeping liquor stores open while shutting down churches.
