"In Europe, red wine remains a part of life. While we in the U.S. have long demonized alcohol, most Europeans are always drunk, and will frequently enjoy a glass of red wine even in the middle of one of their many naps. In France, children do not hide their drinking. They join their parents at the dinner table, where they are served red wine, because it is believed it will make the children more sexy."
