I am providing you with ample justification of the health benefits of alcohol consumption. The link provided is a study that investigated the effects of wine on inflammation. The blood concentration of inflammation markers C-reactive protein and fibrinogen were measured, however only fibrinogen levels decreased (...slightly) upon moderate wine consumption. The name 'C-reactive protein' sounds pretty nifty, so why would we want to lower it anyways?

PS- Although it was a nice gesture for someone to bring cookies to class today, it encouraged obesity and subsequent development of type 2 diabetes, which would lead to a transient ischemic attack. If any of you were actually interested in joining the fight against inflammation, you would bring in a bottle of red next week.
