RE: Out of it.

in Reflections11 days ago

Right now, I'm sworn off red wine. First it creeps in on Saturday nights to relax with Jamie by the fire. Then it's Friday and Saturday. Then hey, let's have one on Thursday. Then I start feeling crap and swear off it for months. IT's all or nothing with me - I must be careful. Moderation is definitely not my strong suit.

I loved Joy Division as a teen and through my 20's. I still have Unknown Pleasures, Closer and an Ideal for Living on vinyl, plus a heap of New Order.

I heard that white wine almost never causes headaches, unlike red wine.

Interesting. I don't quite remember drinking a lot of white wine, so I can't confirm. But maybe I should do an experiment...

Oh believe me, that is fake news.

If you feel bad even from dry white wine, then you need to look for something else :) But on average, according to research:

"Yes, white wine does reduce headaches. Red wine contains more tannins and flavonoids (particularly the antioxidant quercetin), which can block alcohol metabolism and cause cramps. Furthermore, red wine often has higher concentrations of histamines, which cause vasodilation."

We found that the older wines are better..less histamines. But I'm just quitting for now.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. It's so hard to control.
