I measured out a bottle of 750ml into 5 parts and then reduced a little, so that a normal bottle of wine should last 5 days, if only half a cup (4 ounces) is drunk with dinner, measuring it in a metric cup. This is an old study actually. Garlic also increases longevity, as well as Turmeric, which can be got in curry powder. I just started trying this with Merlot, as it is a mild red wine.

Wine isn't pure alcohol. A standard drink has about 14 grams of alcohol in it. So, drinking 20g would get you about 2/3 of the way to being too drunk to drive. The downside of living 5 years longer is that you have to spend the previous 60 years slightly intoxicated. “20 grams of wine is less than 2 Tablespoons”.

A glass of wine at every typo. Should we also do rules for specific types of articles? Like a beer for the "Music tidbits" articles? What about rules for new posts about something that already had an article? Like if the someone made a flash game, got a post about it, then made another flash game and got another article? Or like the two articles on Sonya? How about you have to drink a beer every time Neatorama posts a story or video about an animal?

I mean, that's yellow lager-drinking country there. I expect decent beer (stout, real ale, etc.) is just as good for a body as wine, if not rather better.
