I am often amazed at the wisdom that came from ancient men.  Out of curiosity I just Googled Epicurus.  He lived in 340 BC.

Does it make you thirsty Nina Hollander, Broker

Nina Hollander, Broker

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS sorry, Paul... but it doesn't make me thirsty... I stopped drinking wine at least 15 years ago and hard liquor long before that. Now, if you had flutes of champagne we might have something to talk about. :)
