BETTER HEALTH THROUGH DRINKING
I am in the process of developing a Program for "drinking your way to healthy living". Exercise, diet and good "self care" are good but it just takes too damn long to see any benefits.

From the picture above, you can see I have tried this "drinking plan" in the past but what if we switch from scotch to vitamins?

I have been drinking 200,000 mgs of Vitamin C via Emer-gen-C for several years and it must be working as I haven't had an outbreak of scavies in all of that time.

I was recently introduced to a mega Vitamin B drink, ZipFizz, which I took on its maiden voyage one weekend. I chose a weekend because I was uncertain as to the side effects of 2500 mgs of vitamin B12. I mean, would my head spin and my eyeballs pop out or what?

In retrospect, perhaps I shouldn't have chug-a-lugged it but, some habits are harder to break then others. And, as with chug-a-lugging anything, there is a price to pay. With vitamin B there was incrediable nausea. same as scotch Hmmmm. The nausea passed in about 15 minutes - same as scotch.

To my understanding vitamin B12 is another energy vitamin. I drank it in a hotel room in Seattle and didn't do anything that might require additional energy - not the same as scotch (this is not a complaint; just a report).

I drank it Saturday and had difficulty falling asleep Sunday but I don't think the events are related.


CAN IT BE TRUE?
Q: Is there any truth to the rumour that Patti O. is starting to work out?
A: No, she has always worked indoors

Q: What does Patti O know about spirituality?
A: Patti O. was driving around a parking lot in near panic because she had an important meeting to be at and couldn't find a parking place.

Looking up toward heaven, she said, "Lord, take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to church every Sunday for the rest of my life and give up sex and coffee" Miraculously, a parking place appeared.

She looked up again and said, "Never mind. I found one."
