Sign me up!!

It seems like every week there is a study that states the benefits of drinking wine. I think these studies are a load of crap and are only created so the people of the studies can get free wine. I mean if someone is going to be a part of a study where they are forced to drink a glass or two of wine every night they better be getting wine for free or at least at a good discount.

Am I stupid for not being part of a study?

How do these studies really work?

Do they find two people that are exactly the same? That does the same work? Have the same stress levels? Eat exactly the same thing everyday?

Wouldn’t it suck to be in this study and be the one that is not drinking the wine…Why would you sign up to do that?

Do people really believe these studies? Do people change thier eating and drinking habits by reading some artical on the net?

I have an idea for a study. Is it healthier to work a 9 to 5 job everyday, driving for an hour each way, being stressed out by work and co-workers or is it healthier to travel full time to different wine regions around the world tasting wine along the way? I think I already know the answer!

Ban the Frat House Wines!

So I think I am going to create a new group to get wine companies to produce wine with lower alcohol content. They need to stop making these Frat House wines that have 14, 15 and 16 percent alcohol. If I wanted that much alcohol in my drink I would buy a Port or make a martini….The more I think of it maybe the reason the alcohol content is going up is the wine industry is targeting the younger college crowd. Just imagine doing a wine bong or trying to shotgun a bottle of wine…Dude that would be Awesome!!.

I think if the alcohol content goes up anymore people are going to be drinking less wine. I already add a little bit of water to some wines and I know other people who do also.

So Join “Ban the Frat House Wines”….or maybe “NoMoWiBo” for No More Wine Bongs…Or I could have creative acronym that would spell a word that would convey what the group is about…Like R.A.W. – Reduce Alcohol in Wine.


If anyone has a better one let me know.
