Resveratrol binge: Strange Cru, part 2
Remember resveratrol and its life extending qualities, guilt-free gluttony and cardiovascular-improving sloth in laboratory mice? Oh yeah, that was if had the equivalent of 35 bottles of red wine a day.
Such is the premise for a hysterical essay in the “shouts and murmurs” column in the New Yorker. The author, Noah Baumbach, pretends to go on a bender with his mouse and the drunk dialing, sloth-inducing binge is well worth the read. It’s even better than my screenplay, Strange Cru.

What a great article! Thanks for the link. This is my first time here, but what a great, informative blog. I’m only a casual wine drinker, but you’ve got some good info here. I’ll be back.

Funny article! Laughed my as& off! The beauty of resveratrol is that you don’t have to drink all that wine (I guess that is a benefit?). You can buy resveratrol in pure form and get all the benefits of 35 bottles in one pill. Keep up the great site.

My favorite line from the column had to be: “I call my wife and tell her I’m going to sleep at the lab. She reminds me that she left me a week ago.” It’s so matter-of-fact and sudden–very funny; it knocks you flat as 35 bottles in one day would.
