THANKS TO ALL OF OUR SUPPORT-ERS FOR CONTINUING TO BELIEVE IN OUR PURPOSE
YES, Thanks to all of you that have con-gratulated us and have sponsored us throughout the years, we are especially grateful for your support this year, a year that many of us noticed as a particularly “lean” year. There were times during this last year that we thought the town that we have grown and loved must have sim-ply lost its drive to say to world “WE ARE OPEN”!!!
We know a lot of our supporters and Mazatlan business comrades felt the crunch this past year and many even had to close their businesses or at least close for a month or more just to make ends meet. It makes our appreciation and our thanks to you that much more deserved. We appreciate you and know that it is only because of the sponsorship and sup-port by real people and companies that we have maintained 21 years of business.
We all remember the good old days of Mazatlan, when families of all cultures used to meet here for vacation and have a great respect and knowledge for each oth-er. There has been some talk that those times may be returning soon. Many ven-ues have been reporting that new ventures such as: Hilton Hotel, Sears, Costco, Wal-Mart Superstore, new franchise restau-rants, two to three new hotels and condo complexes are coming our way in the very near future. There is also talk of additional airlines and routes planning on coming to Mazatlan. Plus they’re fixing the Malecon again to a new level of internationalism. I’m not sure exactly what they mean by “a new level of internationalism”… but I’m hoping it goes along with international hot dog and taco carts! We all know about the new road from Durango that is almost completed and is absolutely spectacular, but there is also a proposal in the works
for a new road heading north along the beach to Culiacan. Wow…
Now from my perspective we need to push them to fix up the Golden Zone and the North Golden Zone to the El Faro Ho-tel, as well as finish the beach entrance in middle of the Golden Zone, but we’ll talk more on that later... (Hint: people and tourists will need to get from one end to the other).
More good news for The Pearl! 30% INCREASE SINCE LAST SEPTEMBER ON ONLINE HITSOur online hits on the Pacific Pearl website increased from an average of 440,000 hits per month to 630,000 hits per month! In twenty one years we have accomplished the following stats: 85.1 million hits on www.pacificpearl.com (since 1997); over three million hard cop-ies; 242 months of non-stop promotion ; Five editions of 10,000 copies each for the Guides and Directories that promoted nothing but Mazatlan. Our online paper gets viewed within the United States of American, Mexico, Canada, Australia, Ukraine, Germany, Thailand, Russian Fed-eration, France, Czech Republic, Brazil, China, and 14 other countries. How much do you think we contributed to this com-munity of real estate sales, government re-sources, restaurant businesses, hotel reser-vations, car dealers, insurance companies, propane gas, tours, banks and charities for our people in the past twenty one years?
POSSIBLE SALE OF OUR URL Yes the Pacific Pearl has been approached to sell our URL, www.pacificpearl.com, by three different international businesses in three different countries. The paper is not for sale though. Due to the lack of sup-port we sometimes need to do things we regret. The decision hasn’t been made yet, but it may be an option.
AGAIN THANKS TO ALL OF THE PEO-PLE THAT HAVE TAKEN US SERIOUSLY THROUGHOUT THE YEARS AND HAVE BACKED OUR PAPER! WE APPRECIATE YOU TREMENDOUSLY! YES…. WE ARE OPEN…………..

Welcome to Mazatlán, the Pearl of the Pacific, where the aver-age temperature hovers around
82°F/28°C, the sun shines every day, and outdoors is the place to be. The activi-ties this city has to offer will appeal to everyone. Here on the Sea of Cortéz, Mazatlán’s coastline beckons you to stroll along its numerous beaches, or its 10 kms of Malecón—seawall, or to hike to El Faro—lighthouse, the second highest natural lighthouse in the world.Beaches – Our beaches all have life-guards for your protection, and warning flags along the beaches indicate by their color the condition of the water. Swim-mers should know:
BEACH SPORTS—try them all: parasail, kayak, boogie board, sail on a catamaran, jet ski, banana boat, shore fish, swim, bodysurf, play beach volleyball...or laze the day away under a palapa. Do as much or as little as you want. In the area of the Golden Zone: Playa Sábalos: Sábalo beach is on the north side of Valentino´s nightclub (castlelike structure). Playa Gaviotas extends from Hotel Playa Mazatlán to El Cid Mega Resort.In the area of the Hotel Zone, you will see three islands rising offshore. Las Tres Islas: Wolf, Deer and Bird islands. Deer Island (center) has a small beach with great tide pools for snorkeling and can be accessed by boat cruises or catama-ran.Isla de la Piedra – Stone Island is located at the southern end of the city and is ac-tually a peninsula but is easily accessible by taking a water taxi from the harbor (20 pesos return) This is a laid-back
destination where you can walk, horse ride, or rent an ATV to explore the miles of undeveloped beaches, or hang out in one of the several open-air restaurants.Olas Altas means high waves.Located in Centro Historico Old Town, Olas Altas is the starting point for the Malecón, the city´s seaside walkway and continues for 10 kms, up to Valentino´s. Shops, galleries and restaurants offer art, silver, souvenirs and great food.Playa Los Pinos: Between the Marine House and Fish-erman´s Monument. Lo-cal fishermen sell their daily catches here in the early morning or late afternoon.Playa Norte: North of Playa Los Pinos, Playa Norte is a popular site to watch locals play beach baseball and soccer.Playa Marlin: Along Avenida del Mar. Fresh seafood is served at beachside restaurants.Punta Camarón: The rocky point next to Valentino´s is a favorite with experienced surfers who love this area´s big crashing waves.North Beaches: Playa Bruja and Punta Cerritos—take any of the buses marked “Cerritos” and you will find these more isolated beaches. Popular with surfers, it is also a great area for horse riding and has a relaxing atmosphere with good open-air restaurants serving delicious seafood.SIGHTSEEING —Mazatlán is proud of its rich history, as evidenced by the many monuments throughout the city that have become landmarks to us all. The Fisher-man’s Monument is the most prominent, located on Avenida del Mar and Gutier-rez Najera. The Sinaloan Family, look-ing towards the future, is located near Valentino´s and was a gift to the city from our famous artist, Antonio Lopez Saenz, at the turn of the century.El Centro – Downtown is the original Mazatlán where you will see neo-classical architecture and the European influence of this port’s early settlers. Take a Sábalo Centro (green) bus that travels from the north of the city, to downtown. Visit the Cathedral, Central Market and Plaza Revolución.Centro Historico –Old Town—Walk a little further south and west of Plaza Revolución and you will find Plazuela Machado and the Angela Peralta Theater in Centro Historico, the restored historic

center of the city which now extends to many streets with new shops and restaurants. If you continue walking west, toward the sea, you will come to the seaside area known as Olas Altas, Mazatlán´s original tourist zone. Here you can visit the Archeological Museum, the Museum of Art and art galleries. If you are here on the first Friday of the months between November and May, enjoy The Art Walk where you can tour the studios of local artists. Further along Olas Altas, you can watch clavadistas—cliff divers, diving from the rocks, into tidal pools.ACTIVITIESShop the Golden Zone: Handicrafts, sil-ver jewelry, leather clothes, huarache san-dals, handmade gold and silver jewelry, Mexican zarapes, hand-painted pottery, talavera dishes, fine wood sculptures, Mexican blankets and so much more are available in the shops of the Golden Zone.Restaurants & Nightclubs: Enjoy different restaurant every night—from local, suc-
culent seafood to hot & spicy Mexican plates, to international fine dining. And the nightlife never ends. Happening clubs for those who like to party long and late, and romantic dance floors for easy listen-ing and dancing. They´re all here. Sport Fishing: The local waters are teem-ing with swordfish, sailfish, marlin, tuna and dorado. Farther north is the best fresh water bass fishing in Mexico.

This summer marked the first time in many years that the whole
fandamilia and I journeyed north of the border to spend a fortnight or so at sweet Granny’s idyllic tree farm in the mountains
overlooking Seattle. It was wonder-ful: nary a drop of rain; plenty of elk, woodpecker and chipmunk sightings; we feasted on salmon, ham and crab. Now that we’re back home in Maz I can wholeheartedly proclaim, “Thank Holy Mother of God we live in Mexico!” When I first moved here way back in the 90’s, I thought things in Mazatlan were topsy turvy. Now I’m so turned around that jaywalking seems normal and seatbelts seem weird.
Now don’t get me wrong, I love the American people (and my ten years in Edmonton taught me to love Cana-dians too, especially the women). I love a society that can include for free in the Sunday paper a complete TV guide which accurately states exactly
when everything will be shown during the forthcoming week. But this obsessive/
compulsive drive toward over-civilization is getting out of hand up there. Why don’t they just implant microchips in ev-eryone’s foreheads and remotely control them from a secret bunker in Wyoming?
Oh, never mind, that’s already being done and you didn’t hear it from me.
So, anyhow, I tell the bambinos, this fantasy vacation in Granny’s wilderness wonderland dur-ing the brief sum-mer spell of Great Northwest sunshine, this frenzy of shop-ping, hiking and gorging ourselves on exotic delica-cies, this evergreen Shangri-La has noth-ing whatsoever to
do with trailer park everyday reality up there. The economics are brutal, brutal I tell ye, and opportunities are a thing of
the past. While here in Maz I’m entrusted with instructing affluent young minds by day and serenading affluent old drunks by night, up there I’d be lucky to land a spot as a Walmart greeter, just hoping to get in compliance with the new manda-tory healthcare mandates. And while I’m proud to see Washington leading the way toward a saner marijuana policy, it’s also dismaying to note that legalizing it doesn’t exactly cause the price to plum-met to the level of alfalfa. Then there’s the high cost of beer drinking. No matter how you slice it, at the end of the month you’ll be broke either way, so you might as well be here in beer drinkers’ paradise!

When carrying or lifting things there are 2 things you
MUST know. Last week, research from the United States indicated that a big reason that woman have health problems
from the feet to the neck is carrying purses. Normally when someone carries something on a shoulder, you would think that it actually lowers that shoulder. However, your body compensates and the shoulder with the object is actually elevated. This applies for carrying bags (grocery) over the shoul-der as well. The study showed that not only is the shoulder elevated but the body inclines 6 degrees to the opposite side. If a purse was carried in the crook of the arm with the elbow bent, the body bent 9 degrees to the opposite side. If a person carried a purse in the hand with the arm parallel to the body, the body bent 12 de-grees to the opposite side. This walking imbalance can create all kinds of pains
from the feet to the neck. The study was of purses but it really applies to anything we car- ry; luggage, grocer
bags, backpacks, canvas bags etc.The second thing to be aware of is a concept in physics called
torque. Basi-cally, if you carry
something next to your body, your body
thinks you are carrying an item with the weight of the item. If you carry something away from
your body, you must multiply the weight of the item with the distance from your body. This is now the weight that is be-ing applied to your body. I have simpli-fied the concept but it is why we open doors away from the hinges as opposed to where the door connects to the wall. If you take a 10 pound object and lift
and put it in front of your stomach feel the 10 pounds and it´s effect on your body. Now hold the same object with your arms parallel to the floor. You will immediately under-stand torque. Torque stresses our body on a daily basis. The average weight of the head is 7 Kg., and if we have poor posture (ears in front of the shoulders instead of over them) we are exerting torque on our necks and upper backs. If you have any stomach that is not flat, if you bend at the waist instead of bending your knees, you are applying torque to
your lower back.In an ideal world, which does not exist for your body, you would bend your knees to pick things up. Try to maintain the 3 curves you have in your spine. Lift the item near your body and directly in front of you. You would carry the item with your elbows bent 90 degrees with the item right in front of you. This is the ideal carrying position. If we could do this from childhood we would have a chance to re-duce many of the injuries that we have all experienced. Good Luck.

Fishing Report
Dorado fishing is go-ing great right now out around Mazat-
lan. The fishermen have caught a whopping 282 Dorados, ranging in size from 15 to 60 pounds.Our boats have been
catching anywhere from 1 to 15 fish, with lures and bait both working well. The best catch results for Dorado were found around 3-5 miles offshore. Ninety percent of fishing charters caught Dorado, mak-ing it our number one sports fish again this September.Yellow-fin tuna catches were also good at Mazatlan, with thirty-five percent of Mazatlan anglers finding tuna in the 20 to 30 pound class, giving us a total of 107 fish. Fishing the inshore waters around Mazatlan produced red snappers, yellow snappers and skipjacks.The Dorado and Yellow-fin tuna fishing
was far superior to Marlin catches. Striped marlin gave a fair showing, and they were found in diverse locations. Marlin weights were from 110 to 160 pounds and dead bait was what they preferred. There were a few stray sailfish to be had also; these took lures and dead bait. Just forty two percent of charters found billfish, de-spite an overall catch suc-cess rate of ninety percent for all species combined.We were a bit surprised at the lack of blue marlin, but hope they put in an appearance in time for the upcoming October fishing tournaments. No boat caught more than one billfish in a single day.Our weather was humid, with mostly sun-
ny skies, hot, seas calm, some occasional rain. The average water temperature was 84 degrees.

BANKINGMost banks are open from 9am to 4pm Monday-Friday and some are open on Sat-urdays. Because of frequent changes with all the banks, it is best to check with them for their current policies. At press time, these are their policies: BANCOMER does not exchange cash to pesos. From 9am to 2pm, they will cash travelers´checks with your passport up to a $1,000 maxi-mum daily. BANAMEX will cash travelers’ checks from 9 am to 2 pm daily to a maxi-mum of $450 with your passport. They will also exchange US and Canadian dollars for pesos. BANORTE will only accept dol-lars and travelers’ checks for deposit (pe-sos) in an account. HSBC does not cash American or Canadian dollars to pesos, nor cash travelers’ checks. SANTANDER only cashes travelers´checks if they are deposited into your account. They do not cash American or Canadian dollars. SCO-TIA BANK does not cash travelers´checks, but will cash US and Canadian dollars to a maximum of $300. Debit card and credit card cash advances are available 24 hours daily at ATMs only. Please note the Bank of Mexico has increased the fee of with-drawals at ATMs ranging from 17 to 36 pesos. To avoid hassles, exchange Ameri-can or Canadian cash (no coins) at a casa de cambio—money exchange. You may get a lower exchange rate, but you will get pesos.
BEACHESAll beaches in México are federal prop-erty up to high tide lines, and thus, public. Watch for a colorcoded flag system in-forming swimmers of surf conditions.
DELIVERYCheck the food delivery policy with your hotel. Some allow the delivery to the lob-by, others request that you wait outside the door of the lobby.
DRINKING THE WATERPurified water and ice are available in all restaurants, bars and lounges. Purified wa-ter can be purchased in all supermarkets.
E-MAILThere are numerous cyber-cafes in the tourist areas. Malecon has Wi-Fi, as do many restaurants in the Plazuela Macha-do and the Golden Zone.
HEALTHPharmacies are generally staffed by knowledgeable people. Many will deliver and some are open 24 hours.
MONEY EXCHANGESeveral casas de cambio can help you
change dollars (and occasionally other currencies) for pesos. Casa rates are sometimes not as good a deal as the banks (usually by a few cents) but they are generally open longer hours with much shorter lines. Some hotels offer exchange services.
PHONING HOMEAlthough hotels can assist with long dis-tance calls, dialing direct can be expen-sive. Call collect or bill the call to a calling card for the best rates. Dial 090 to reach a TELMEX international operator and ask for an English speaking operator. When call-ing cell phones, dial 044669 before the number. Most phones work by using LA-DATEL cards, which can be purchased at various supermarkets for 30 or 50 pesos.

POSTING MAILThe post office is located downtown, across the street from the main plaza & the other one inside the Central Bus Sta-tion.

TAXESA national consumer tax of 16% known as IVA is tacked onto most purchases, although it is generally included in most restaurant menu prices. Hotels charge a 18% tax.
TRANSPORTATIONAlways negotiate the price of the ride be-fore entering a taxi. If you are not satis-fied with the price, just step back and wait for the next one. The following charges are fairly standard thoughout Mazatlán — Taxis (red & green): from downtown to Golden Zone 40-60 pesos. Pulmonias: from downtown to Golden Zone 60-80 pesos. Aurigas: (red pick-up trucks) 55 pe-sos (8 person capacity) Green Bus (aircon-ditioned): 9.50 pesos (will give change) Yellow Bus: 6.00 pesos (will give change)
TIPPINGAt restaurants, 10 to 15% is standard. Check to ensure the tip is not included in your bill. Be sure to differentiate between the 16% tax and a tip. Bellmen usually re-ceive about $1 U.S. per bag and maids 15 pesos per day. It is not necessary to tip taxi drivers unless they have rendered special services, such as waiting while you go into a store or business. Tour guides should be tipped for a tour well done. The boys and girls at supermarkets typically receive 1 to 2 pesos for helping bag groceries, more if they bring them to your car - they receive no salary. Delivery people should also be tipped.
DRIVING IN MAZThe speed limits in Mazatlán are 40kph in the city, 20kph in school and hospital zones and 90kph outside urban areas.Watch out for unmarked topes, or speed bumps. Some are fairly high and can cause severe damage to your vehicle.

Everybody wants to go to heaven; but nobody wants to die.-Albert King

We will accept information from your charitable organization in writing only, from your official communications representative, 1 per organization, by deadline, the 15th.
But that was the case with esteemed Mazatlan businessman Francisco “Pancho” Madero Herrera who died July 30 at the age of 83.Senor Madero – a genius in knowing how, when and where to start a business – and with whom to partner – surrounded himself with trusted employees whom he treated so well, most regarded him more like a friend than an employer. It was that profound combination of business savvy that, by the time of his death, enabled him to employ over 500 people in more than 20 businesses and for him to be praised throughout the community as, “there will never be another equal to him in business or in friendship.” Yet, for all his �nancial successes, Senor Madero was an uncomplicated gentle-man who thought more about how to help others – especially life’s poor and innocent – and the value of family. And it was his down-to-earth attitude and approachability that endeared him to the entire Mazatlan municipality – in every facet of life. He operated his holdings from a small, unassuming o�ce, preferred to visit over co�ee – and a good cigar, lived humbly with discretion, often wearing a simple while shirt and casual trousers. Born in Mexico City in 1929, he married Natalia (Talita) Rodriquez Garcia in 1956 and went into business with his wife’s father, Rodolfo Rodriquez Arnold, owner of Gas del Paci�c. In 1964, he created Sinaloa’s �rst television station. Founder of Grupo Alerta, some of the companies that are part of his consortium include Gaspasa, Chosa Ceramicas, Hotel Aguamarina Mazatlan, Ford Automotriz Baja Cal, VW Popul Auto de Mazatlan, Canal 7 Mazatlan, Canal 3 Culiacan, Canal 2 Los Mochis and Ciudad Obregon. Senor Madero served on the board of directors of the Catedral de la Inmaculada Concepcion and oversaw its capital renovation campaign. He served as president of the board of directors of Father Tovar’s Home for Boys, Hogar San Pablo and was instrumental in its sustenance and growth over the years. Often there several days each week, he truly cared about the welfare and future of each boy and made that known by his presence in their lives and �nan-cial backing of the orphanage. Senor Madero is survived by his wife of 56 years, son Rodolfo Gerardo and daughters Natalia So�a and Maria Veronica. It’s impossible to sum up in one tribute the total greatness of Francisco Madero Herrera – who spent his entire life improving life for others. On behalf of the entire Paci�c Pearl sta�, we join this community in mourning the loss of Senor Madero, his work ethics and kindness towards others. And, most important, we o�er our sincere condolences to his family, to whom he was immensely proud and lovingly devoted. ~ Michael Veselik Publisher, Mazatlan’s Paci�c Pearl Newsmagazine

Paws to ConsiderAmigos de los Animales
Miracles do happen - Bambi came to us as a “walk-in”. Hun-gry, shivering with fright and an
oversized chain wrapped tightly around his neck, Bambi walked into the shelter, straight into an empty holding pen and curled up as far back as he could get.
After several months of working to gain his confidence our staff was able to transform Bambi into
a confident, playful companion to other dogs as well as our staff. He has become fully socialized and just plain fun to be around.
Bambi is an all black mix, approximately 1-2 years old and is in excellent health. The only thing needed now to complete his transfor-mation is your home. Bambi’s naturally friendly demeanor will bring joy to your
home - and his!
If you would like to help create more miracles such as Bambi, please contact us at 669-986-4235 or visit our shelter at Ave. Bicentenario Juarez No. 3 in Fran-cisco Villa (Pancho Villa). Just 3 hours a week can make a huge difference in the lives of our temporary residences.
In addition to Bambi we have approxi-mately 20 adult dogs and 15 puppies as well as a number of kittens and adult cats for you to select from.

Congratulates the
for 21 years of uninterrupted service to the community
There are many “little insults” which are innocently offered as
expressions of concern, but often result in nega-tive responses on the part of “we elderly receivers.” They tend to damage
our self-image. Given enough of them, our health suffers, and without a doubt shorten our reasonably contented life span. One example is someone asking how old you are, a subject I pursued in the May/June 2013 issue of Pacific Pearl; another is “..because we care for you” which usually follows as an apology after we elderly have been cau-tioned against doing something which any five year old child knows he should or shouldn’t do. It is familiar to all of us as one of the
lessons taught to us by our parents. “It is snowing outside, so put your boots on!” “Did you remember to shut the refrigerator door?” “Eat your oatmeal, it’s good for you!”
One winter evening a group of us were sitting around at Puerto Viejo in Centro Historico, having a glass of vino tinto. It was cool and there were a few complaints about the wind. I was quite comfortable, but suddenly one of the women pulled off her scarf and handed it to me, cautioning me that I really needed to keep my head warm. I declined and graciously thanked her; but the others murmured things about agreeing with her and assured me they were trying to keep me from catching cold because “we care for you.”
What message did I get? Well, dummy me! Here I am 90 years old so I don’t remember how to take care of myself! How did they think I got to be this age, anyway?So, while I am thankful there are still people who “care for me,” I had felt I had been scissored out of the group photo, placed in my own little album, and left on the coffee table for visitors to thumb through.
I asked my Mexican friends if there was anything equivalent to “we care for you” in their culture. “No,” they answered. “We care, of course, but we show it, we never say it. It’s part of be-ing a Latin.”
All my Mexican friends squash me with big bear hugs and caution me to lock my door, watch the stairs, and stay out of the sun. I never let them think I mind
because I know they are just making suggestions. When my Mexican friends point out things I need to do for myself, they know that I am either going to do them or I’m not. Secretly, I don’t mind because I really didn’t understand their Spanish, so I can go on doing what I was doing.There are several other “little insults” that fit into the category of “caring.” For instance, how would you feel if some-one asked if you needed help blowing out the candles on your birthday cake? Or offered to cut your meat for you? My grandmother used to say: “Don’t need it, don’t want it and don’t treat me as though I were addlepated.”
I am, of course, grateful that people care, as opposed to people who have no sense of sympathy or consideration. This is especially true where many of today’s young people are concerned. A friend of mine had to hobble along with a walker for awhile and one day, as she was walking along Olas Altas, she came up to a group of girls who were taking up the entire sidewalk as they put on their skates. Not one of them moved aside for her and she had to walk into the street to pass by them.
One twelve-year-old was puzzled to learn that I have a computer and a print-er, but then giggled with complete un-derstanding because I don’t know how to download music into my ear. You see, it isn’t that I am a “computer illiter-ate.” When I bought my first computer many years ago, the programs came with big manuals. As the years went by, I was left with “help” keys that really didn’t help me at all to get a complete picture of all the bells and whistles.
So, because of my impatience I confess I am outdated in today’s cyberworld. I think my real world wisdom is not. After all, we graduated from college without Google and Wikipedia? How many of you can say that?
Those “...we care for you” declarations are just negative reminders that we are old, implying we were never ever as smart as today’s “care” giver. Actually, we should be the ones reminding them to wash their faces, brush their teeth and put a condom in their pocket!

Drink your VitaminsIf the drug industry came up with a chemical that could cut your risk of rheu-matoid arthritis in half, you can bet your joints they’d patent it and charge you a knee and an elbow for it.
Luckily, that chemical already exists and it’s been off-patent and available generi-cally for a few thousand years. And odds are, you’re taking it right now -- especially if you’ve been following my advice, because this time-tested “drug” is plain old booze.
Now, a new study of 34,000 Swedish women finds that those who enjoy more than three drinks a week are 52 percent less likely to get the painful joint condi-tion than party-pooping teetotalers.
No mystery behind this one. Rheumatoid is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system turns on its own body, but “vitamin booze” can actually get the immune system to behave itself (and not just when it comes to rheumatoid, which is why alcohol is one of my all-time favor-ite cure-alls).
In addition, rheumatoid goes hand-in-hand with inflammation -- and a moder-ate drinking habit is one of the best ways to slash overall levels of inflammation as well as inhibit production of the protein
that causes the inflammation specifically linked to rheumatoid.
It’s not just rheumatoid and it’s not just women. A steady booze habit comes with more benefits than I can list here. Men and women alike who drink have a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, de-mentia, and diabetes, just to name a few.
Moderate drinkers even live longer, too.
And some people have the nerve to call this a guilty pleasure? Drink up -- and don’t feel guilty about it at all.
Guilt-free, William Campbell Douglass II, M.D.
on their TWENTYFIRST ANNIVERSARY.
