Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shame. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."
~ Jack Handy

And saving the best for last, as explained by Cliff Clavin, of Cheers. One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm. Here's how it went:
"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."


WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you are whispering when you are not.

It's all a balance. But alcohol can depress the immune system. Also it reacts strangely with many antibiotics.

So I avoided beer when I was fighting lyme. I think that beer may encourage yeast. I sometimes had a little dry red wine, though.

Just like it is with some people, drunk spirochetes might get nasty....

Enjoy what there is to enjoy, but there's a time for everything.

I didn't mean to imply that we should all get drunk.... just thought the quotes were funny and wanted to share!

[Smile] Cheers!


(and do listen to Dave here, he's right about the yeast and the immune system)


The good thing is that you'll be able to enjoy alcohol once you are symptom free, and then you'll be a cheap drunk like me!

Sorry you're probably tired of hearing that!

Could'nt resist>>>

Anyway...those were some funny quotes....pundits...etc...

Yeah, I only wish I were free from this dang bug so I could enjoy a cocktail without the ramifications....oh well...

It really bugs me that we can drink fruit juices and get hangovers without even drinking booze!
That really sucks.....not even copping a buzz before we get hung over....sheesh....zman

i wonder if the sulfites in wines would kill yeasts anything else pathogenic in the gut? then one can just eat the sulfites.

reason, the sulfites kill/inhibit wild yeast(s) on the grapes.

might be something here for tbds.

any wine chemists, real,or hobbyists that can comment on the sulfite chemistry?


sulfurously,

pq
