She Blinded Me With Science

Adulting is hard Antoinette,

One thing I've learned over the years is that annoyances can be annoying. Those ridiculous speed bumps when you're drinking your coffee on the way to work; traffic cameras that send you a picture weeks later running a red light; and hangovers after one too many glasses of the grape when you're just trying to YOLO on a Sunday Funday. Thank goodness Progressives and scientists have been trying to rid us of many things that either we find annoying or they find annoying about us! 😉 However, what they both often fail to realize are actions have consequences, many of which are unintended. Science is great. It's eradicated polio, and created penicillin as well as many incredibly resistant bacteria. It's made buildings fire resistant with asbestos as well as spawned many feature length infomercials and class action lawsuits. It has created nuclear energy and ICBM'S to take that energy anywhere quickly if the Kimchi isn't just right. And scientists have proven without a doubt that man is the cause of global warming though tomorrow's forecast has only a 50% chance of being right (that will get a few people riled up) 😈. We all want to be healthy and safe and live an easier life, but maybe sometimes nature's way is the best way. Genetically engineered sheep are great and all, but maybe we should just leave Godzilla to Tokyo and the 70s, and leave New Zealand free from that kind of carnage, BOL!* Kiwis should focus on sauvignon blanc, and mother nature should be the only one dictating how much wine we drink. She has built in safeguards ...inebriation, hangovers and embarrassing texts that go on your permanent record. Now some "nutt" job wants to fool with mother nature again. That's right, British quack scientist David Nutt claims he's on to a secret formula that will make hangovers obsolete by 2050. Sounds nice on the surface...but the repercussions man. That would single handedly wipe out the Bloody Mary industry, put a huge dent in the breakfast buffet economy, and people would stay drunk cuz the only repercussions will be endless corny pickup lines like, if you were a vegetable, you'd be a cute-cumber! Or maybe, do you know what my shirt is made of? Boyfriend material! And maybe an occasional slap in the face. Wine is meant for moderation. The hangover reminds you that you have limits. Avoid the fate of 80s radio listeners, don't be blinded by science and don't fool with Mother Nature son! Just sit beside a mountain stream, see her waters rise. Listen to the pretty sound of music as she flies. Be an adult! Limit yourself to one bottle of wine at a time. I suggest a 1.5L. Chin chin
