WINE

    New Roman" color=#0000ff size=5>I have sworn repeatedly that I wouldn't drink wine. But last night I went to a dinner and came back a drunkard. Today I still feel dizzy and muddleheaded.

    Wine plays such a crucial role in our social life. Most of our social life is involved in it. At table everyone is as generous as a king to persuade others to drink, and take pleasure in making a drunkard of someone. Last night unfortunately I became a victim and vomitted nearly all I had eaten. I suffer a lot from it. I don't like drinking. But I have to. I don't want to be one isolated from the society. I want to be part of it and I need to keep contact with my friends.

    Embracing a long history, China has its own peculiar cultures and customs. Wine culture, is crucially important. If someone may have interest in wine culture and do some research in it, he will find more materials than enough to write a book or two on it.

    Knowing that it is detrimental to health, I know I should restrain myself from overdrink. However its role as a media in social commmunication can't be ignored.
