This is the attitude I expect of all LGKers. Leave Ducks fans to drinking the wine spritzer crap.

I was refering to the title of the article, actually. so, given that, the point of the study was that more people were drinking wine, which kind of contradicts the claim that they were drinking less alcohol. that just doesn't make much sense at all, but that's just me
