Also, one medical researcher observed in his back garden how bees volunteered to feed on "fermented apples" from his orchard and suffered the after effects of alcohol consumption: they basically got "pissed".
His conclusion was that the consumption of alcohol was the most natural thing to do, and proceeded to mimic their behavior himself!!!
Nothing wrong with consuming alcohol, as long as it is in limited quantities.
I consume organic red wine on a regular basis, and my weight remains constant.
