Friday Night Wine-Buzz. Ask me anything...

[Aristus]

I love you all...

[cilla4progress]

1. Hey, Aristus!

What's your take?

[Aristus]

2. It's all very interesting right now.

The repukes clutching their pearls over locker-room language, Who knew?

[TexasTowelie]

3. Did you make any New Year's resolutions

and are you willing to share them?



Off to the kitchen to mix up my drink--tangerine lemonade and vodka.

[Aristus]

5. No.

If I had, I would be happy to share them.



Enjoy!

[TexasTowelie]

7. Same here.

This old dog isn't up to learning new tricks. I don't have anyone to impress, except myself, either.

[Aristus]

9. Couldn't have said it better myself.

[California_Republic]

4. Merlot?

[Aristus]

6. Shiraz-Merlot blend.

[California_Republic]

8. We once bought a wine based solely on the beautiful label.

It didn’t end will. How pretty is the label.

[Aristus]

10. It's Yellow Tail.

so: yellow kangaroo.

11. Hi Aristus

Do you recommend wine to help one get over a cold?

[Aristus]

12. Maybe just one small glass.

For all of the reputed health benefits of red wine, most of it is just wishful thinking at this point.

You notice, it doesn't stop me...

But like everything else, moderation is the key. You may not notice a more rapid resolution of your symptoms, but you'll enjoy the recovery time more...

[Ohiogal]

15. Thanks ...I'll get right on it, then!

[RainCaster]

13. Hail Aristus

How much wine is needed to watch the movie "Bird Box"?

[Aristus]

14. As always, I wish for my opinions to be informed opinions.

So I'll have to watch the movie myself before offering an answer.

Which means I'll have to watch it several times in various states from sober to buzzed to drunk to thrashed...

If I survive, I'll let you know my assessment.

[hibbing]

16. Are you still up?

[Aristus]

17. No, I'm posting in my sleep.

YES! I'M STILL UP!

[hibbing]

18. What are your thoughts on hypnotism.as treatment?

For things such as weight loss or to stop smoking?
Sorry i dont look at time stamps plus time zones, plus I'm a bit foggy!

Peace

[Aristus]

19. I was giving you a hard time.

There's really very little evidence that hypnosis is an effective treatment for anything. After all, the goal of hypnosis is to get you to do something you already want to do; lose weight, quit smoking, etc. There are a number of effective clinical protocols that can help with such things that don't include hypnosis.

Hypnosis is simply a way of lowering your inhibitions and making you more susceptible to the power of suggestion. If you're capable of submitting to hypnosis, (and not everyone is), you're already capable of accomplishing your goal without it.

20. Hmmm...what about the entertainment ones?

I think they are fake, i just cant imagine that process as shown on tv would result in people getting up and acting like a chicken or whatever. Just random questions since you ask for them! I know you were just giving me grief, hehe

Peace

[Aristus]

21. Yeah, the hypnotists you see at state fairs and the like always struck me as fake.

With a number of shills in the audience who are actually in on the act.
