Single for 13 years, I date a ton. I'd say half of all women who I meet are ex-drinkers who will not consider having a drink. >> how many ex drinkers are there anyway? << Gazillions.

Ian, I wish I'd seen it in the National Enquirer, but from Scientific American, June 2006, p 26. [snip] "Of seven studies that split the two categories, none found a protective effect for alcohol. More telling, when the team regrouped the other published data, combining drinkers and former drinkers, the positive effects evaporated. Paradoxically, physiological data suggest drinking is probably still somewhat helpful... [snip] Perhaps drinking is helpful for people who never / seldom exceed two drinks. No, the punchbowl's been taken away by Bernanke. ;-( Doc
