I must confess I sometimes follow shamelessly in his footsteps. And often literally so for I enjoy a good session of Foot Reflexology, for instance (having just had one in the Thai lounge here in Bangkok international airport). It's partly for health reasons... For the science of physically manipulating the foot to rid it of toxins that have accumulated at the sole makes intuitive sense!
So, Bacchus I am not for he had abandoned the pursuit of health. To further my case, I also submit to you that I do care about keeping the heart pumping and the muscles working. I still try to get some exercise once, even twice a week.
Still, I am mortal alas, and clearly no saint. I do like a good drink or two. I didn't start out that way. Asa young adult, I hated beer and especially stout for I found them bitter in taste. After starting work, first in Singapore Airlines, then in Andersen Consulting, I fell under the persuasion of my colleagues there (to whom I remain grateful :) who introduced me to wine. Wine taste so uniquely different one bottle from another that it's taste can be associated with the time and place it was first consumed and when tasted again, memories of that moment can be relived! Then in BCG, I was introduced to fine spirits (single malt to be precise) and delicate fine foods. So, Bacchus I am.
