Funny what a glass of wine can do. It can give you the courage to tell a joke at a party, allowing you to be the center of attention,without self criticism, no stumbling over words or awkward posturing. It can be the compliment to a specific menu. It can be the dessert to top off a meal. It can serve as an appetizer to conversation. It supplies the calming qualities needed after a stress filled day and it can be the introduction into an addiction that ruins a life, drowning memories and wilting friendships into a puddle of confusion, conflict and disappointment.
At what point does the wine stop being an admirable accoutrement and start being an invasive instrument that whittles away life's value?
