 ML> And this matters why?

People here were discussing a possible world shortage of coffee as
result of the internal fighting in African countries, and the
consumers who would be most affected, would be the Swiss.  Deprived of
their favourite drink, the Swiss citizens would rise up and invade
Uganda, Congo, etc, take control and bring peace so that the
production of coffee could continue, thus earning the eternal
gratitude of the coffee drinking world.

 ML> Avoid alcohol?

For several hours, probably as it might dissolve the clot and result
in a flow of blood from the hole.  The clot did disappear, but I don't
think there was any bleeding.  I was drinking red wine, anyway.

From recent observations of juvenile tooth resorbtion, it is apparent
that they are normally resorbed from the root end, so the biting end
is all that is left for the tooth fairy.

The OP has a greater numbing effect than Courvoisier, and is a
stronger antiseptic.

As the actress said to the bishop, "If you haven't tried it, don't
knock it."  I haven't - yet.  My most recently successful breakfast
combination has been toast with peanut butter, sliced baked beetroot
and cheese.
