You're way ahead of me Jere. I'm very interested in this discussion, how about starting at the beginning and maybe including net.med, too.? Personally, I am much more bothered by dehydration. After a bottle of Cab. with dinner I wake up at 3 A.M. *bone dry*. This causes both a dry throat and mouth and headaches. It's not the alchohol, I've no such problem with beer, liquor, white wines, or less dry reds. It's Cabs and dry Zin's. Anybody out there care to explain. Mike @ AMDCAD
