Yeah, it sucks. No “hair of the dog.” No reason to be stupid and nothing to help you get to sleep each night after a long stress filled day, but, it’s good for you. . .sometimes.
Be very careful which sites you visit to read up on about Dry January. Most have a religious terrorist Nazi behind the article trying to graciously lead you down the path to their definition of “righteousness.” Constantly making it sound like anyone who takes a drink or even thinks about taking a drink is an unwashed alcoholic doomed to eternal damnation. They say this, in all likelihood, while planning their next attack on a women’s medical facility full of medical staff and pregnant women. Eternal damnation, it appears, only comes to those with enough cerebral capacity to identify right from wrong.
To think, those people banded together, occupied Washington, DC, then forced Prohibition on the country and they still don’t believe they have fucked us up enough. Read up on Al Capone and Murder Incorporated if you don’t understand what gifts the religious terrorists have given us in the past by forcing “the light” on us. If you think you’re “doing God’s work” by forcing something on someone, you are a religious terrorist, own it and turn yourself into Homeland Security, make that be your New Year’s Resolution, to turn yourself in.
The one thing worth looking into for for anyone who is diabetic is if your A1C improves.
It’s counter intuitive yet it seems to be a thing. Why is it counter intuitive? Diabetics, especially diabetics caught early or recently diagnosed, are told to have a glass of wine at night, usually just before bed, to improve their A1C. Depending on the wine, most see improvement. Sometimes dramatic improvement. It has to be a dry wine, not that soda pop sweet sh*t. It really should be an incredibly dry red. I have to do incredibly dry Chardonnay because I just can’t find a red I care to drink. The cleansing effect alcohol has on the liver seems to clean away something which contributes to your diabetes.
While I hate providing links to WebMD on here, primarily because everything seems to lead to Lupus on that site, they do have a pretty good breakdown of the medical benefits without the religious terrorist spin. Just like nobody knowing how having a glass of wine at night helps A1C, nobody really understands how going dry for the month of January improves insulin resistance. We just know that both are true.
One personal note. Liberty Creek Chardonnay used to be the best tasting dry Chardonnay I could easily obtain at a reasonable price. Two Buck Chuck is good, but I don’t live near a Trader Joe’s. I say “used to be” about Liberty Creek because lately it went to soda pop and I quit drinking it. I asked the manager of the store if this was just fall out from the last Great California Fire to burn Napa and they asked the distributor. To date the silence has been deafening. As a result, I’ve stopped buying Liberty Creek wines.
