reasons for drinking

[Paphnutius]

Wine just makes me so sleepy

[HisChild]

well that IS a nice side effect. . and many people do in fact use it as a sleep aid. However, it doesn't give you the nice deep REM sleep that allows you to wake the next morning, refreshed and ready to go.

That is likely because people who are sick go up and spread their bacteria through the entire congregation

Just the idea. . . .

To quote GK Chesterton:

Wherever the the Catholic sun doth shine, there's always laughter and good wine. At least I've always found it so, Benedictamus Domino!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

that'd be belloc

close enough though.


here's a good one from Chesterton:
[quote]Idolatry is committed, not merely by setting up false gods, but also by setting up false devils; by making men afraid of war or alcohol, or economic law, when they should be afraid of spiritual corruption and cowardice.[/quote]
