Big news out of the holier than thou New York Times, who reported today that drinking in moderation has multiple health benefits, including prevention of strokes, amputated limbs and dementia. Those are certainly my three biggest worries as the calendar turns to 2003.
Moderation is defined as one or two drinks a day, so I must drink in extra, extra moderation, as I usually hit 7-14 drinks around lunchtime Tuesdays. Just think how healthy I would be if I had one or two drinks an hour, which is not too far off the way things are going.
Next week, the Times will reveal findings on beer-goggling, overtipping strippers and spending weekends in Tijuana.
