ThatÂ’s right! Nothing at all wrong with that. And itÂ’s not because it doesnÂ’t make you gay (it very well might, especially if you drink several of them at a time.) ItÂ’s because that effete fruity drink you just got from the waitress at Friday's might actually save your life! Huzzah!

Adding ethanol -- the type of alcohol found in rum, vodka, tequila and other spirits -- boosted the antioxidant nutrients in strawberries and blackberries, the researchers found.

Any colored fruit might be made even more healthful with the addition of a splash of alcohol, they report in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture.

Dr. Korakot Chanjirakul and colleagues at Kasetsart University in Thailand and scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture stumbled upon their finding unexpectedly.

They were exploring ways to help keep strawberries fresh during storage. Treating the berries with alcohol increased in antioxidant capacity and free radical scavenging activity, they found.


God bless scientists who tell me my addictions are good for me. First they told me that boozing it up made me richer, and now theyÂ’re telling me that itÂ’s healthy for me too? Fabulous!

I donÂ’t even know what free radicals are, but IÂ’m assuming they taste lovely with some Midori and Apple Pucker.

The secret to SubrosaÂ’s Appletini recipe is a splash of Sprite. Cheers!

Hmmmm . . .

Tequila-soaked strawberries? Would that work? I may have to try that--like vodka melon balls, you know? Except, like, better.

Seriously.

Cash, you must find yourself angry an awful lot of the time. Everything's been 'tinied. Why, Starbucks will probably be coming out with a Frapputini any day now.




I would totally drink that, by the way.

If liking your drinks to be delicious makes one gay, then color me Elton John.
