Personally, I don't like drinking in the afternoons. With or after
dinner is fine, but drinks and lunch just make me groggy.

Try red wine 😉

Oddly enough, wine hits me harder and faster than the hard stuff.
Not sure why.

Red wine has a good chance of giving me a headache, almost immediately.
White isn't as bad, but I still have to watch what it is. My own bottles, I
know what I'm getting into. If I'm not familiar with the brands at a
restaurant, I have to be careful. If the only choice is "house wine" I go
for beer or mixed drinks instead.

Michael and Steven weren't working today, a rare thing for both of them at

types) could go to lunch and down a few martinis while talking "business"
and still manage to be talking, let alone about business, by the time lunch
was over. LOL

My boss and I occasionally go out to lunch and snag either Stoli
martinis or mai tais, depending on the work in progress. He's a
litigation lawyer and I'm his paralegal and sometimes our best ideas
come out of alcohol-induced brainstorms. We had one just today over
sushi and unfiltered sake. Came up with an outside-the-box defense
that even seven hours later looks brilliant. God, I love making the LA
city attorneys look like idiots.

I was told a while ago that the reason you get headaches from red wine
and not white is that red wine has histamines. <shrug> Dunno if it's
true or not, but I certainly have heard people say that they don't get
headaches from the whites.

There's hope for you RWH sufferers yet :-)

http://www.beekmanwine.com/prevtopbd.htm

In a new controlled study, Kaufman and Dwight Starr, M.D., Mt. Zion
Hospital and Medical Center, examined, through blind evaluation, various
inhibitors of prostaglandin synthetase (IPS) drugs, aspirin,
Acetaminophen, and Ibuprophen, to test if the RWH could be prevented by
the prophylactic use of these specific medications.

During the first stage, twelve subjects (nine females and three males)
with a history of RWH were challenged with red wine, and all experienced
RWH. The subjects returned one week later, stage two, and were given
inhibitors of prostaglandin synthetase or placebo one hour prior to wine
ingestion. The two who received the placebo were not protected. Kaufman
and Starr reported that ten of the subjects who were premedicated failed
to develop the RWH; two given Acetaminophen developed a "second phase''
RWH 6-10 hours after wine ingestion.

Kaufman and Starr conclude that RWH may be due to a metabolic defect and
corrected by prostaglandin synthetase inhibitors. Mechanisms of
correction remain unclear. Source: H. Kaufman and D. Starr, Prevention
of the Red Wine Headache (RWH); A Blind Controlled Study. In New
Advances in Headache Research, 2nd edition, ed. F. Clifford Rose. Smith-

New Information on Headaches, Flushing, and Bloating

If you suffer from headaches and/or flushed skin when drinking wine, try
drinking a cup of black tea before you drink the wine. If you will be
drinking over the course of an evening, have another cup or two of black
tea during the evening. Quercetin, a bioflavonoid found in black tea,
significantly inhibits the headache/flush response (which is an
inflammatory effect from histamines), according to Tareq Khan, M.D., a
pain expert with St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital in Houston, Texas.
If the problem you suffer from is bloating dye to alcohol's
dehydrating and water retention effects, try munching on magnesium-rich
snacks like dark chocolate and unsalted nuts, according to Carolyn Dean,
M.D., N.D.

I think I sense one of those amazing cultural differences here: In
Switzerland and France, I *never* heard anyone complaining red wine
have him/her a headache, but one does hear that complain a lot about
white wines. It's so funny the way even health stuff is cultural (for
instance, the French used to complain a lot about fatty food and
chocolate giving them a "crise de foie" - literally, a "liver attack"
- which concept was never heard of in any other country).

I'd heard that it had to do with sulfites. Whatever. There are some reds
that I'm okay with, but if it's a dinner out, I'm just better off ordering a
white wine to be safe. Not a big issue for me, really, since I'm just as
likely to go with a mixed drink or beer, depending on the cuisine and place.
And I usually only have one drink, two at the most. I just don't like the
hazy feeling I get from drinking.

'tis white wine that gives me a headache, more than one glass anyway.
Red wine does not bother me (unless I drink a whole bottle!)

Perhaps it is the culture of overindulgence? I used to find that if I drank a
lot of red wine I got headaches and/or stomach cramps, but not problem if I
had it with food.

Our son's wife is Brazilian, and every Christmas her parents come for a
month-long visit. They always bring a couple of huge bags of fresh roasted
cashews. They tell me they grow everywhere and street merchants gather them,
roast and sell from their carts. Quite a different taste, and hard to eat
just a few. And of course they are quite inexpensive there.

Oh man, do I love cashews. I like some salt on mine though, the
"lightly salted" ones seem to work best for me.
