I rarely rarely have anything with alcohol in it. Last week I bought a bottle of red wine because I've been feeling guilty about not getting the resveratrol benefit. This week we know that the studies about that were fudged. I guess I'll drink the wine anyway, 4 oz a night, hoping that it will help blood sugar control.
