...feeling BETTER? I am not joking. Nothing else has this effect but I cannot understand why! I am 39, struggle with an arthritic hip and a lot of fatigue (and depression). Have for years. And after drinking the night before, I literally wake up the next morning feeling physically better and notice it for almost 3 or three days afterward. I am more alert and in less pain. I rarely drink, but now that I notice this I guess I will do it more often. Red wine, however is from hell

I am also a type 2 diabetic.
Patricia M: I swear if I was not in search of a more clinical explanation, you would win this on sheer wit; that was one of the funniest things I have ever read! =)) "...in a couple of days" (ha!!)
Andrew N: This is good, but it does not explain why I feel so much BETTER afterward. Not back to normal... better. You know?
