Monday Rant: Stop Whining

You know, I've always heard about how even the tiniest hangover from wine is the worst due in part to the headaches it can give you. I've been good with not having to deal with hangovers in my life thus far. I only remember one quite vividly. An all-night venture at Virginia Beach with my family. I remember not wanting to eat anything until the evening of the next day.

I've been very lucky in that regard. I most likely haven't had to deal with many of those since a big night at home anymore is in the neighborhood of four to five beers. I know people that get close to doubling that on some nights.

Rarely do I have problems the next morning. With that said, I can't say the same when it comes to drinking wine. I took a trip to a Laurel Highlands winery this past weekend with my family. Responsibility of driving everyone home was the job of someone else. Thus, I took a few liberties in trying different types of the wine there.

I usually write a blog post the night before it actually posts. It's Sunday evening as I write this. I was at the winery on Saturday. I still have a headache. I don't know nearly as much about wine as I do about beer. Still, I'm not an expert on either. I don't know what's with wine that can cause these headaches. I distinctly remember having slight headaches the day after a wine tasting not too long ago.

Thankfully, having a few beers on Friday and Saturday nights doesn't have similar effects. I'm glad I enjoy the intricacies of beer more than I do wine.
