Women's Preference for Wine

[drosenberg88429]

Good thing there is no sexist overtone here. 

Is there anything sexist about saying that women have different makeup usage habits or personal hairstyle preferences than men? It's a reality in many circles, while it may be completely inaccurate in others. When it comes to alcohol consumption, it's obviously also different for each culture and group as it pertains to alcohol consumption as a whole, and whether there is a gender breakdown in such consumption. In our particular circles, there are clearly perceived differences between men and women in this regard. He's taking an innocent survey to see how that applies to the individuals. Seems fairly innocuous to me, unless one has an agenda in life to believe that there are no differences in tendencies between any people, and to modify anyone that does display and tendencies that deviate from what they believe should be the norm.

lets not forget, back in the day the drink of the house was wine, not apple or orange juice.
things changed alot since production commercialized

Before refrigeration, I don't think juices were a very viable long term option. I think it needed some vinegar or alcohol to prevent it from spoiling (hence apple juice being fermented into apple cider). Wine has an inherent advantage over water that the alcohol should prevent it from going rancid and pathogens growing in it. The availability probably depended on the region and whether grapes were easily accessible. In many areas of Europe, iinm, the standard "wine" was raisins soaked for a few days (probably being as raisins were the most efficient non spoiling transportable form of grapes). I'm assuming it wasn't very good wine. Most alcohol probably came from fermenting grains or potatoes that they did have easier access to into basic mashes.

A person probably developes a tolerance pretty quickly if their average drink is mildly alcoholic, and doesn't get tipsy or inebriated from it. Idk if it's good for your liver long term if you drink too much for it to synthesize and regenerate, but I also don't know if that was their primary longevity threat.

Mine would be zero for the men, too. No one drinks in my family.

It's the posts like these which feeds the troll who views himself as DDF's resident champion for women, LGBTQ5G, minorities and whatnot, and is overly excited to pinpoint that to the people in the cult with all sorts of inherent bigotry ingrained in them. For me it has become utterly annoying, but if you still enjoy these convos then by all means engage with that, it can easily take care of a long boring Sunday.

Call him what you want, but this place is boring without him.

Nice try.
