And of course, wine in moderation, for your health and good fortune.

The property in red wine known as resveratrol has already been shown to be good for your heart and even promote longevity, according to a number of recent studies, and now they're saying it may also protect the brain from damage caused by stroke.
The recommended dosage is two glasses a day (a bit much for me on a work night, but one can aspire ;)
(And unfortunately, catching up on the weekend falls outside the category of "moderation." I'm still waiting for a study to come along and refute that, but I'll probably be waiting a while.)

And drinking with colleagues means earning more money, too, apparently, so one may as well combine the two regimens.
