In my Weight Watchers meeting (See, I am occasionally virtuous.), the leader asked how we fatties reward ourselves.“Drink a glass of wine with dinner!” I shouted without hesitation.
Everyone held their collective breaths; eyes widened.
“At least you’re honest,” another member replied, pityingly.
“An occasional glass is fine,” the leader countered in attempt to emolliate the mob.
“That’s right,” I smiled. “A few sips and, ahhh, everything’s better.”
Horror from the crowd.
My So-Called Obsession with Strangling Mother Teresa
What? Did I just confess to strangling Mother Teresa or that I have an obsession with fossilized kitty litter?
No, I said I enjoy a glass (or two) of wine with dinner.
“Well, golly,” I tried to recover. “It’s not like I drink my glass of wine at work or while I’m at the drive-through window.”
Embarrassed titters.
I decided to just be quiet after that.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury
In defense of a glass (or two) of wine, I present my case.
First off, let me state I’m adamantly opposed to drunkenness, alcoholism, drunk driving, boxed wines or ostentatious wines. That said, here we go:
A Long and Ignoble History

Fermented beverages have been enjoyed since Neanderthal man grunted, “Ugh. Over-ripe loganberry make everything lot better.” Oh, wait a minute. Didn’t I just say that?
Au Naturale
Even birds have been known to imbibe in fermented pyracantha berries. It’s a winter time kick to watch tipsy black birds try to walk a straight line.
Heart Healthy
Erudite studies report that a glass of red wine, full antioxidants and resveratrol promote a healthy heart. I don’t know what antioxidants or resveratrol are, but my heart will be pumping like a 16-year-old Olympiad when my teetotaling friends are in the cardiopulmonary ward.
God’s Will

Every religion from Animism to Zeus worship, embrace a glass of wine as part of their worship. Where do you think debauchery comes from? Okay, maybe not the best example.
Everyone Has a Weakness
Everyone Has a Weakness
No one bats an eye at the coffee addicted or a sweet tooth. I can pass up a lot of things, I’m not sure when it became shameful to drink a glass of wine with dinner, but that’s one reward I’m not passing up.
