..maybe one needs to swallow the pill while drinking a glass of red wine. The pill may be scratchy and sticky without lubrication?

Wow! Now I can enjoy a nice home cooked meal and not have to bother with the glass of wine. I wonder how the pill goes down with a nice hunk of ciabatta.

from the article
Researchers have also shown that people who drink a glass of wine a day have a lower risk of dementia than individuals who do not drink.
And those who drink two bottles of wine a day have a higher risk of dementia than those who do not drink. I'll tell ya....dementia is underrated, I often enjoy moulding my own universe.

I heartily agree. It's also a more colorful universe, filled with small purple serpents and jumping green rodents that grin an inordinate amount of the time. Of course, they can do this if you really, really try hard without any kind of drink at all, but where's the fun in that?

It's comforting to know someone else sees the jumping green rodents. Oops, gotta go, 5:30 p.m. and I must head out to the bar to consume my Merlot pill.

Good, this'll get all the fad health drinkers out of the line at the store.

Damn health fanatics... They should all be contained somewhere safe, where they do not constitute a danger to themselves or anyone else

Too bad they didn't bring some of their wines with them.... in which case they'd be worth kidnapping
