Can we talk about wine??

[DB1]

Another wine lover in the "house". I drink 2-3 glasses of red wine every night before bed. It is the one vice I am not willing to give up (I have given up all fast food, sweets, breads, and processed foods)but wine will stay! I don't like any other alcohol, just a hearty red zin or cabernet!!

Cheers!

Hey, hopefull, I'll toss my hat into the fire and hazard an opinion. (Talk about mixed metaphors.) :+

I think it's all about satisfaction. In my opinion, the heaviest people are the ones who derive the least satisfaction from their food. The french have long, relaxed meals, and they savor every bite of food and every sip of wine. Their food has time to send signals to their brains and get the "I'm satiated" message across. I know there was a book about this last year, although I didn't read it. Americans are always rushing through their meals, eating and drinking too much, and enjoying it less. Whenever a heavy person says "I enjoy my food too much" I think in fact it's exactly the opposite.

That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
