RobBob Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 I've found that cheap wine often = headache wine. I'm not talking about drinking the whole bottle and getting a headache, but I have found that two glasses of some cheap and some mid-priced wines can leave me with a sinus headache the next morning. It's true I think that reds are more naturally apt to give one a hang-over, but for instance I drank two glasses of some cheap French Chard the other night on a long Delta flight, and had a headache within two hours. Maybe its the amount of sulfite added. Last week, I had two glasses of Rodney Strong pinot noir (I was eating a steak, and decided I needed a second glass to ensure that I offset the fat intake )---woke up with a sinus headache, on a workday.

Dru Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Some People some people never go crazy. me, sometimes I'll lie down behind the couch for 3 or 4 days. they'll find me there. it's Cherub, they'll say, and they pour wine down my throat rub my chest sprinkle me with oils. then, I'll rise with a roar, rant, rage - curse them and the universe as I send them scattering over the lawn. I'll feel much better, sit down to toast and eggs, hum a little tune, suddenly become as lovable as a pink overfed whale. some people never go crazy. what truly horrible lives they must lead. Quote
chelle Posted June 17, 2004 Author Posted June 17, 2004 RobBob - drinking on the plane will ensure a hangover. Maybe you are sensitive to sulfites. Quote
RobBob Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Michelle-I know, but the prospect of 9 hrs of intermittent turbulence mostly over the wilds of SA were too much to endure w/o medication. Quote
ClimbingH Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 Not sure about the $2.99 Chuck, Chelle...... but I am sipping on a glass of Chianti right now, finishing a slice of cheese cake from last night and listening to Led Zeppelin. Not a bad combination...... Quote

Dru Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 Big Night On The Town drunk on the dark streets of some city, it's night, you're lost, where's your room? you enter a bar to find yourself, order scotch and water. damned bar's sloppy wet, it soaks part of one of your shirt sleeves. It's a clip joint-the scotch is weak. you order a bottle of beer. Madame Death walks up to you wearing a dress. she sits down, you buy her a beer, she stinks of swamps, presses a leg against you. the bar tender sneers. you've got him worried, he doesn't know if you're a cop, a killer, a madman or an Idiot. you ask for a vodka. you pour the vodka into the top of the beer bottle. It's one a.m. In a dead cow world. you ask her how much for head, drink everything down, it tastes like machine oil. you leave Madame Death there, you leave the sneering bartender there. you have remembered where your room is. the room with the full bottle of wine on the dresser. the room with the dance of the roaches. Perfection in the Star Turd where love died laughing. Charles Bukowski Quote
