Good news for drunks

 It seems every few months now there is yet another health news

    revelation  about the wonderful effects of one glass of red wine. Just

    ONE glass. But who do I find to be the most receptive to this " news "

    - which now reeks like stale wine ? Incorrigible winos - that's who !

            They who invariably show the effects of ONE glass too many - or

    out and out inebriates - see themselves as just solicitous for that

    healthy heart beat.

             Then unconsciously the fatuous logic : If one drink of fine red

    wine is so good for you , then surely a whole bottle is the very elixer

    of life !

             Next thing we will learn :  One cigarette a day actually

    PREVENTS lung cancer !

            Soon that glass of cheap red wine will cost as much as a pack

    of cigarettes AND a small bottle of generic aspirin .

            But our health is priceless !
