Friends often ask me: "How do you drink wine at bars? Doesn't it make you tired?" or "How do you drink beer, doesn't it make you feel full?" I think it all depends on the situation. If you're at a long, seated dinner with a lot of food and big reds then of course you'll feel tired afterward. But I can definitely order a glass of Pinot at a bar at midnight and feel great! They can keep their vodka sodas, I think a lot of these beliefs are a myth. People seem to always take firm positions on various types of alcohol and I always find it funny.
