You are completely wrong about it being a 3 trick pony. There is tons of variety in wine beyond the color. But I'm not actually here to argue that because I completely agree with your last point. The thing that most often keeps me from drinking is the need to drive home at the end of the night. I don't want to kill someone and I didn't want to lose my job (I drive for work) because I went out to drink. So I drink at home which is not a healthy way to drink. So I don't drink regularly.
If I didn't have to drive to work I'd walk more which would put me on the ground, passing more bars and restaurants with the option to pop in for a pint and a bite to eat. Then hop on a tram or underground or light rail and head home full and happy. But we can't have nice things like that in the US because oil rules or politics.
Good bot.
