Yeah, but tequila's for when she really means business.

Researchers concluded that levels of sexual desire were higher in women who were moderate drinkers of red wine than in their counterparts who preferred other alcoholic drinks, or were teetotal.
One theory put forward by the team of Italian doctors who carried out the study is that chemical compounds found in red wine may improve sexual functioning by increasing blood flow to key areas of the body.
The researchers said: "While this finding needs to be interpreted with some caution, it nevertheless suggests a potential relationship between red wine consumption and better sexuality."
In the project, described as the first to examine red wine intake and women's sexual function, doctors at the University of Florence recruited 800 women aged 18 to 50. The women, none of whom had reported a sexual health problem, were split into three groups – those who regularly consumed one or two glasses of red wine a day, those who consumed less than one glass a day of any sort of wine or other alcohol, and those who were teetotal.
Women who drank more than two glasses a day were excluded from the study to avoid the possible confounding effects of drunkenness.
All participants completed a questionnaire, the Female Sexual Function Index, which is used by doctors to assess women and sexual health. It includes 19 questions with a total score range between two and 36, with higher scores meaning better functioning.
Overall the red wine drinkers scored an average of 27.3 points, compared to 25.9 for the less-frequent tipplers and 24.4 for the non-drinkers.
The researchers, who reported their findings in the Journal of Sexual Medicine last week, say the outcome is even more striking because the red wine drinkers were, on average, older than the other two groups, and age tends to be associated

Liquor is quicker
News you can use.
Hmmmmm-ply them with alcohol. Why didn’t I think of that??
this needs a “NO DUH” tag.
She was young. She was fair. She was new. She was nice.
She was pure. She was sweet, seventeen.
He was old. He was vile, no stranger to vice.
He was bad. He was base. He was mean....
He had slyly inviegled her up to his flat
to view his collection of.....stamps,
and he said as he hastened to put out the wine
his cigar, the cat.....and the lamps:
“Have some Madiera, m’dear?
You really have nothing to fear..
I don’t want to tempt you. That wouldn’t be right.
One shouldn’t drink spirits at this time of night.
Have some Madiera, m’dear.....
It’s really an excellent year.
I don’t care for Sherry, and one cannot drink Stout,
and Port is a wine I can well do without!
You see, it’s strictly a case of ‘Chacun a son GOUT....’
Have some Madiera, m’dear?”
Unaware of the wiles of the snake in the grass
And the fate of a maiden who topes.
She lowered her standards by raising her glass,
Her mind, her courage, and his hopes.
She sipped it. She drank it. She drained it. she did!
He quietly re-filled it again,
and he said, as he secretly carved one more notch
on the butt of his gold-handled cane....
“Have some Madiera, m’dear?
I have a small cask of it here...
and once it’s been opened, it won’t keep,
Finish it up; it will help you to...sleep.”
“Have some Madiera, m’dear?
It’s ever so much nicer than Beer!
Now if it were Gin you’d do wrong to say ‘yes’
the Evil gin does is hard to assess...
and, besides, it’s inclined to affect my Prowess....
Have some Madiera, m’dear?”
Then there flashed thru her mind what her mother had said
with her ante-pen-ultimate breath:
“Oh, my child, should you gaze on the wine that is red:
BE PREPARED FOR A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH!”
She let go the glass with a shy little cry. (eek!)
Crash! Tinkle! It fell to the floor.
When he said: “What in Heaven?” She made no reply.
Up her mind and in a dash for the door!
“Have some Madiera, m’dear?”
Rang out down the hall, loud and clear
in a tremulous voice that was filled with Despair
as she paused to take breath in the cool, midnight air...
“Have some Madiera, m’dear?......”
The words seemed to ring in her ear.
Until the next morning she woke up, in bed
with a smile on her lips, and an ache in her head,
and a BEARD at her earlobe which * tickled *, and said:
“Have some Madiera, m’dear?”
Liquor in the front. Poker in the rear?
Heck, I am heading to the store right away!
***Hmmmmm-ply them with alcohol. Why didn’t I think of that??***
I tried that with a girl once years ago. All she did was...Puke and puke and puke! She never drank wine again.
"One glass of wine I can feel it,
Two anyone can."
Hate wine.
Love women.
Decisions, decisions!
What's the margin of error....
Been a while since I heard Flanders & Swann :)
From an old Jeanie C Riley song...
Under the seat a bottle in a bag
Made to affect the senses,
He poured out a drink for Marty Grey,
and broke down her defenses.
Where do I get a government grant to conduct this sort of research? You know it was paid for with tax dollars...
Yeah, but tequila's for when she really means business.
Is that an average per day? Two every day or seven each on Friday and Saturday nights?
The Mercedes 380SL is a prime example of one such device.

Sun rises in east.
Yeah, I was kinda wondering where all of the tequila posts were on this.
I prefer a good Asti.
